PREFACE. 



The first edition met with a very cordial reception (exceed- 
ingly gratifying to the Author), and was speedily exhausted ; 
but since then a constant demand for the book has been kept 
up both at home and abroad, and in response to that demand 
the present edition is issued. The book throughout has been 
carefully revised, and amendments introduced which I trust 
will increase its value. 

The study of games that have been played across the board, 
as a guide to practical skill, cannot be too highly commended. 
The examples given in this work are eminently suitable for 
that purpose, being the product of the combined skill of the finest 
players of the present day, opposed to each other in Match or 
Tourney play. 

The " Chapter for Beginners," and Notes to the Games, will 
enable the tyro to pick up the points of the game ; and the 
explanation of the important element, *' the Move," and examples 
of its practical application in many of the " Elementary End- 
Games," will greatly assist him to extend his knowledge of the 
subject. 

As regards the arrangement of the play, that adopted in the 
Jordan-Freedman and English Tourney Games commends itself 
to the learner ; while the style followed in the Scottish Tourney 
Games is the handiest for purposes of reference. 

Play on the " Switcher " Opening (11-15, 21-17, 9-13) is given 
under the heading "Edinburgh," Part I (9-13, 21-17). Several 
of the other Openings may be run into each other in similar 
fashion, and my original intention was to combine the play under 
one Opening in the same way ; but the reflection that there would 
thus be lost to the student many valuable lessons on the trans- 
formation of one Opening into another, decided me to give the 
remainder of the games as played. 



Vlll 

A few variations arising from different Openings are thus 
repeated, the full continuation being given in each instance, being 
much handier for the student than a note of reference to another 
page for the play. 

The lamented death of my esteemed friend, Mr. Richard 
Jordan, is deplored by all draughts players ; but his games 
will for ever keep his name alive, and the record of- his last 
great match is not the least interesting feature of this volume. 

The circulation of the first edition was world-wide, extend- 
ing throughout Britain, America and the English Colonies, 
to such out-of-the-way places as Khartoum, Fiji Islands, Malta, 
Crete, Barbadoes, etc. etc., and the hundreds of letters received 
from all parts have been a source of gratification to me, 
not only as favourable opinions of my book, but as eloquent 
testimony to the high estimation in which the game itself 
is held by the great English-speaking people. 

I hope the present venture will reach as happy a conclusion. 

FRANK DUNNE. 

Warrington, December, 1911. 



INTRODUCTION 



A CHAPTER FOR BEGINNERS. 

IJJVERYBODY plays draughts, but comparatively few are 
Jw draughts players. This apparent contradiction is explained 
by the fact that the rudiments of the game are so simple 
that the}^ can be acquired in a few moments, and hence the reason 
that the game is such a popular one in the home circle, so much so, 
indeed, that there is scarcely a household without a draughts board, 
and all join in the innocent amusement it provides. 

Longfellow gives an apt illustration of this in " Evangeline " : — 

'* Evangeline brouglit the draughts board out of its corner, 
Soon was the game begun. In friendly contenrion the old men 
Laughed at each lucky hit, or unsuccessful manoeuvre ; 
Laughed when a man was crowned, or a breach made in the King row." 

But the majority of those who thus play at draughts get no 
further than the a b c oi the game, being under the impression that 
they are then draughts players ; and they continue to play year 
in and year out in an aimless fashion, passing by unheeded the fine 
points of the game because unacquainted with them, at the same time 
deriving a certain amount of enjoyment from the play, and satis- 
faction at the idea that they are draughts players. 

A little study of the strategy of the game, from published exam- 
ples, will greatly enlighten them as to the manifold attractions it 
possesses ; and a little method applied to their practice will wonder- 
fully increase their success, and add to their enjoyment of this most 
innocent recreation. 

In. order to play published games and problems with facility it 
is necessary to learn the notation, which may be easily acquired. 

Number the squares of your draughts board, taking care to put 
the numbers in the comers of the squares, so that they will be plainly 
visible when the men are in position during the game (Diagrams 
I and 2).

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



At the commencement of a game it is the rule to place the Black 
men on the squares numbered 1 to 12, and the White men on those 
numbered 21 to 32 (Diagram 2). This rule is imperative. It is also 
the rule to change pieces every fresh game with your opponent, and 
this necessitates the numbered board being also turned round each 
time (Diagrams 3 and 4).

However, you will find this to be necessary only at hrst ; practice 
will very soon enable you to do without a numbered board, always 
bearing in mind that the lower numbered squares are Black's base. 

In recording games the moves are denoted by the numbers of the 
squares, thus : — 11-15 signifies that a piece is played from square 11 
to square 15 (Diagram 5).

22-18 signifies that the White man is played from square 22 to 

square 18 (Diagram 6), then 15-22 means that Black has played from 

15 to 22, jumping over and capturing the White man on square 18 

(Diagram 7). 

White, in turn, must capture the Black man on 22, using his own 

discretion as to whether he will leap from 26 to 17, or 25 to 18, 

though the latter is the usual play (Diagram 8).

White to move 



Black to move 



All the movements of the pieces from the beginning to the end of 
a game are described by these simple means, the games being usually 
printed in columns, Black and White moves following alternately 
to the end, where the result is denoted by '* B wins," " W wins," or 
■" Drawn," as the case may be. 

In this work, in all the columns of figures, Black's moves are dis- 
tinguished from White's by a " hyphen " between the figures, thus : 
9-14. 

In playing the game the ultimate object of each contestant is to 
capture all his opponent's pieces, or confine them in situations where 
they cannot be moved, and the player who succeeds in doing this 
wins the game. When neither party can force a win the game is 
said to be drawn. 

When a piece is en prise (liable to be taken) you must take it. 
By neglecting to take it (through an oversight or otherwise), and 
making any other move, j/ou are liable to be penalised (see Standard 
Laws 14 and 15). 

When one party penalises the other by " huffing," he must 
remove the " huffed " piece from the board hefore making his own 
move, otherwise he cannot claim the penalty. 

When a man reaches the extreme 
line of squares in the direction in 
which it is moving it becomes a King 
(Standard Law 16) . Should this hap- 
pen when capturing a piece the move 
is thereby completed, even though an 
opposing piece remains apparently 
en prise. 

To exemplify this point, place the 
men upon the board as shown in 
Diagram 9. 

It being White's turn to play, the 
man on 30 is moved to 26. Black 
•captures it by 22-31, mid must now

halt to he crowned. White crowns the Black man on 31, and then 
moves 32-28. Black is compelled to capture the White man on 27 
by 31-24, and the White man then jumps 28-1, touching 19 and 10 
en route, capturing Black's king and the two men on 15 and 6, and 
becoming a king in its turn (Diagram 10) .

Black to play Black to play 

This introduces to notice another, and perhaps the most important 
element in the game, viz. the 'power of the opposition, technicalh^ 
termed " the move." The Black man can only move 2-7, and 
closely opposed by the White King, who follows by 1-6, is eventualh' 
imprisoned in 20 and finally captured (Diagram 11). 

This result was solely dependent upon White having " the 
move," the importance of which as a factor in winning end-games 
it is almost impossible to over-estimate ; a thorough knowledge of 
this element is the great secret of successful play. The rules by 
which this knowledge may be made practically available are given 
under the heading of ** The Move and its Changes," attention to 
which will soon enable a player of moderate pretensions to attain a 
proficiency that will be none the less pleasing than surprising. 
Before playing the games read carefully the Standard Laws. 



STANDARD LAWS. 

1 The Standard board m.ust be of light and dark squares, not 
less than 14 inches nor more than 15 inches across said squares. 

2 The Standard men, technically described as White and Black, 
must be light and dark (White and Red, or White and Black) , turned 
and round, not less than 1 inch, nor more than 1| inch in diameter. 

*3 The board shall be placed so that the bottom corner square 
on the left hand shall be black. 

*4 The men shall be placed on the black squares. 



* After substituting the word White for Black, these two laws become binding 
upon the players of any place where it is customary to play upon the White squares. 



STANDARD LAWS. 5 

5 The Black men shall invariably be placed upon the real or 
supposed first twelve squares of the board ; the White upon the last 
twelve squares. 

6 Each player shall play alternately with White and Black men, 
and lots shall be cast for the colour only once, viz. at the commence- 
ment of the match, the winner to have his choice of taking Black or 
White. 

7 The first play must be invariably made by the person having 
the Black men, and that alternately till the end of the match. 

8 Time. — At the end of five minutes (if the play has not been 
previously made) time must be called by the person appointed for 
that purpose, in a distinct manner ; and if the play be not completed 
on the expiry of another minute, the game shall be adjudged to be 
lost through improper delay. 

9 When there is only one way of taking one or more pieces, time 
shall be called at the end of one minute, and if the play be not com- 
pleted on the expiry of another minute, the game shall be adjudged 
to be lost through improper delay. 

*10 Either player is entitled, on giving intimation, to arrange 
his own or opponent's pieces properly on the squares. After the first 
move has been made, however, if either player touch or arrange any 
piece without giving intimation to his opponent, he shall be cautioned 
for the first offence, and shall 'forfeit the game for ^ny subsequent 
act of the kind. 

11 After the pieces have been arranged, if the person whose turn 
it is to play touch one, he must either play it or forfeit the game. When 
the piece is not playable, he forfeits according to the preceding law. 

12 If any part of a playable piece be played over an angle of the 
square on which it is stationed, the play must be completed in that 
direction. 

13 A capturing play, as well as an ordinary one, is completed 
whenever the hand has been withdrawn from the piece played, even 
although one or more pieces should have been taken. 

14 The huff or blow is to remove from the board, before one 
plays his own piece, any one of the adverse pieces that might or 
should have taken [i.e. taken an opposing piece or pieces. — Ed.] ; 
but the huff or blow never constitutes a play. 

15 The player has the power either to huff, compel the take, or 
let the piece remain on the hoard, as he thinks proper. 

16 When a man first reaches any of the squares on the opposite 
extreme line of the board it becomes a King, and can be moved back- 
wards and forwards as the limits of the board permit, though not 
in the same play, and must be crowned (by placing a man on the top 
of it) by the opponent ; if he neglect to do so, and play, any such 
play shall be put back until the man be crowned. 

* Anderson's Clause 10 reads as follows: — "After the first move has been 
made, if either player arrange any piece, without giving intimation to his opponent, 
he shall forfeit the game ; but if it is his turn to play, he may avoid the penalty 
by playing that piece, if possible." [In deference to the general opinion that this 
law? is unnecessarily harsh, McCulloch's amendment is substituted. — Ed.] 



6 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

17 Either player making a false or improper move shall instantly 
forfeit the game to his opponent, without another move being made. 

18 When taking, if either player remove one of his own pieces, 
he cannot replace it, but his opponent can either play or insist on 
his replacing it. 

19 A draw is when neither of the players can force a win. When 
one of the sides appears stronger than the other, the stronger party is 
required to complete the win, or to show at least a decided advantage 
over his opponent within forty of his own moves — to be counted from 
the point at v/hich notice was given — failing in which, he must 
relinquish the game as a draw. 

20 Anything which may tend either to annoy or distract the 
attention of the player is strictly forbidden — such as making signs or 
sounds, pointing or hovering over the board, unnecessary delaying 
to move a piece touched, or smoking. Any principal so acting, 
after having been warned of the consequence and requested to desist, 
shall forfeit the game. 

21 While a game is pending, neither player is permitted to leave 
the room without giving a sufficient reason, or receiving the other's 
consent or company. 

22 Either player committing a breach of any of these laws must 
submit to the penalty, and his opponent is equally bound to exact 
the same. 

23 An}^ spectator giving warning, either by sign, sound, or 
remark, on any of the games, whether played or pending, shall be 
expelled from the room during the match. 

24 Should any dispute occur, not satisfactorily determined by 
the preceding laws, a written statement of facts must be sent to a 
disinterested arbiter having a knowledge of the game, whose decision 
shall be final. 



GOLDEN RULES. 

1 Never touch a piece until you have made up your mind to 
move it. 

2 Never move a piece without a motive. 

3 Accustom yourself to play slowly. 

4 Adhere strictly to the laws of the game. 

5 Compel your opponent to adhere to the laws. 

6 Play with better players in preference to those you can defeat. 

7 Take every opportunity of looking on when good players are 
engaged. 

8 Never touch the squares with your finger when calculating. 

9 Eschew the habit of incessantly talking during a game. 

10 Show no impatience with an opponent who may be slow. 

11 Avoid boasting and talking about your skill. 

12 Lose with good temper, and win with silence and modesty.

Jordan took the lead in scoring, and maintained it throughout. 
After the first few days' play Freedman went from bad to worse, 
and the match came to a somewhat sensational conclusion by the 
resignation of Freedman on the conclusion of the ninth day's play, 
leaving 11 of the stipulated 40 games unplayed. Total : — Jordan, 7 ;

a — This move brings the game into the regular " Paisle}^ " 
opening, viz., 11-15, 24-19, 8-11. The alternative, 16-20, as played 
in the next game, leads to lines of play admitting of more originality 
than the text, and is, perhaps, quite as strong, though hitherto 
it has not been so much favoured by the experts. 

b — The position at this point allows White a good scope. The 
18-14 " cut " is considered a good attacking move, while 26-22 is 
greatly favoured, and has been played in many historical contests ; 
28-24,Drummond's line, has also come in for a good share of attention. 

C — At this stage 11-16 is also a sound move, followed by 17-13, 
9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 29-25, 8-11, 25-22, 11-15, 22-17, etc., leaving an 
equal game. This variation was originally played in a Wyllie- 
Barker match, and some pretty games resulting from it have also 
been contested in the English and Scottish Tourneys. 

d — The game is now identical with the 13th game of the Wyllie- 
Bryden, match, formed from the "Double Corner," thus: — 9-14, 
22-17, 11-16, 25-22, 16-20, 24-19, 8-11, 22-18, 4-8, 18-9, 5-14, 29-25. 
Here Bryden played 11-16, and should have lost. In my notes to 
these games published in the Leeds Mercury Supplement, 1886, I 
introduced the move in the text to draw^ and also the play demon- 
strating the win after 11-16, which, so far as I am aware, still holds 
good, and corrects Robertson's Guide and other standard works. I 
append a couple of leading variations from Dunne's Guide and Com- 
pa7iion, in which a more extended analysis of the position may be 
found : —

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



e — Leaves published play, so far as I am aware ; 22-18 is given in 
Note (c) to the Wyllie-Bryden games, continued by 1-5, 18-9, 5-14, 
19-15, 11-18, 23-19, 18-23, etc., drawn ; but instead of 18-23 Black 
may sacrifice the piece by 12-16, 19-12, and then play 18-22 with a 
good game. It is worth notice that 17-13 at *' e " makes the positions 
identical on each side of the board. In a game with Mr. Jordan, 
February, 1903, I adopted this move, the game running as follows : —

Drawn — Robertson-Wyllie. 

g — Best ; if 17-10 is played first, Black replies 6-15 and gets the 
better game. 

h — Rather unexpected. The position is exceedingly interesting. 
Black is so strong that he may safely venture to sacrifice a piece by 
20-24, and run for a King. This, I surmise, had not escaped Jordan's 
notice, but he was too good a tactician to run any unnecessary 
risks, with the draw by 10-15 in full view ; and an analysis of the 
position shows that he would have gained no advantage by the 
sacrifice. The diagram following illustrates the situation :• —

a — This move, as I remarked in notes to Game No. 1, is seldom 
adopted in contests of importance, though I fail to see why such 
should be the case, as, in my opinion, it is quite sound, and opens 
out a wide avenue for original play. 

b — This brings the game into the regular " Paisley." The two 
alternatives that commend themselves — 11-15 and 9-14 — both offer 
greater scope for originality, and are, perhaps, stronger for Black 
than the text move, preventing the attack by 18-14. 

C — Although in the present instance 4-8 leads to a fine original 
game, it is, I think, unlikely to meet with much favour, as from this 
point to (h) the game is very critical for Black. The usual " book " 
routine, 11-16, is decidedly stronger ; if followed by 26-23 (and 
White has nothing better), then 6-9 forces a *' break up " that takes 
all the sting out of the 18-14 attack. 

d— If 11-16, 27-23, 6-10, 29-25 runs into the text, while if White 
replies to 11-16 with 26-23, then 6-10, 22-17, 8-11, 29-25, etc., draws. 
— Martins- Lamont. 

e — At this point Black has not much choice, but 2-6 looks, on the 
surface, as promising as the text ; 1 have not been able to find a sound 
draw on it, however. For example— 2-6, 26-22, 10-15-a, 19-10, 6-15, 
13-9, 5-14, 18-9, and White wins, (a) If 5-9, 30-25 wins for White. 

f — ^The situation is a remarkably interesting one at this point, 
from its critical nature and the variety of play at White's command. 
Examination shows, however, that none of the alternatives are 
superior to the text. I append a diagram of the position, with a few 
variations. 

g— The only move ; if 1-5, 31-27, 14-17, 9-6, 2-9, 18-15, etc., wins^ 
for White.

a — This is now identical with a rather seldom-plaj^ed variation 
of the " A^Tshire Lassie " opening. 

b — 28-24 is sound at this point. The late J. Bell published some 
play on it, which may be found in Frazer's Ayrshire Lassie, but 22-17 
is the favourite move, as played in the English and Scottish Tourneys.

a — This varies from the preceding game, but we question if it 
is as strong as the move adopted by Freedmaji ; for some moves 
White's position is much cramped, as the direct result. 

b — A risky move to make, but 23-18 is not to be commended, and 
White appears to have nothing better.

a — ^The old orthodox reply to the " Edinburgh/' generally ad- 
mitted to be White's strongest line of attack in this opening. 

b — ^The line of play inaugurated by this move has not been much 
favoured recently, though Wyllie often adopted it. Examples may 
also be found in the practice of the two notable American experts, 
C. F. Barker and C. H. Freeman. Of late 10-15 and 6-9 have had the 
preference. It is possible, however, that the play shown in this 
game may have the effect of bringing this defence more into promin- 
ence as a safe line to adopt in this admittedly weak opening. 

C— 24-19 is strong, to which 8-12 is the best reply ; if, instead. 
Black goes 16-20, White secures a powerful attack by " cutting " 
18-14, in reference to which the late J. Lees remarked that it is ques- 
tionable if a sound draw for Black can afterwards be demonstrated. 

d — Wyllie sometimes played 3-8 here ; but he adopted the text 
move against Jordan in their subscription match, 1892, to which 
Jordan replied with 29-25, the game resulting in a draw. The 
position formed by the text move may also be brought up from the 
" Dundee " opening, thus :— 12-16, 24-20, 8-12, 22-18, 10-15, 25-22, 
9-13, and is given in the British Draughts Player, and also in the 
notes to the Jordan- Wyllie games, as a loss for Black. The play 
is by J. L. Richmond, and may be found in the B.D.P., " Dundee " 
opening, exercise (3), variation (3), note (1). Curious to remark, in 
the same work the position is given later on as a draw, in the 
" Edinburgh," exercise (4), trunk.

16 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

e — ^The diagram shows the position at this stage, to which an 
interesting history attaches. 

The text move (2-7) was originally played in a game between 
C. H. Freeman and J. Hill, and White won. Robertson varied with 
19-24 to draw and correct that 'game. Afterwards J. L. Richmond 
published play for a White win, purporting to correct Robertson, and 
it is this play that is quoted in the B.D.P., referred to in my note (d). 
I append a variation played in the Correspondence Tourney for the 
Championship of India, 1902, which, however, corrects Richmond's 
play, and restores the draw by 19-24. Similar play was published 
by J. Birkinshaw in the Keighley News, 1897.

W. wins. 

f — At this stage 26-23 introduces a variation which is very 

critical for Black for a few moves, i.e.: — 

26 23 32 23 28 24 31 27 23 19 25 21 29 25 19 16

And then 16-7, 14-17, etc. Drawn. 

g — ^This varies from and corrects the Freeman-Hill game, where 
5-9 was played and White won, thus :— 5-9, 26-23, 9-14, 23-19, 6-10, 
31-26, 13-17, 22-13, 14-17, 25-22, etc. W. wins.

and White gains a place, with a good prospect of ultimate victory. 

j— If 20-16, Black draws by 8-11, 16-7, 3-10, etc. 

k — ^The draw is now apparent.

MATCH GAMES. 17 

a — This defence, originally introduced by Martins against Wyllie 
in their restricted match in 1872, has been adopted in several 
important contests, notably the Gardner- Strickland and Barker- 
Smith matches, and though not so popular as 10-15, is regarded by 
the experts as a comparatively safe line. The development of the 
present game, up to the tenth move, is identical with the Wyllie- 
Martins game, and is not open to much improvement on either side. 

b — In the notes to the Barker-Smith games, it is pointed out that 
this is stronger play than the 18-14 ** cut," which was the line adopted 
in that match, and also in the Gardner-Strickland match. This was 
the opinion of Mr. Beattie and myself at that time, and I have seen 
nothing since to cause me to alter it, though 18-14 continues to be a 
favourite line of attack. 

C — ^This is Black's strongest play at this point : 12-16 is sometimes 
adopted, but is inferior to the text ; 11-16 is very weak, and plays 
into White's hands by giving him the command of the centre of the 
board. It is remarkable that Janvier, in compiling the play on this 
opening given in his edition of Anderson, overlooked the Wj^llie- 
Martins game, and gave a variation of his own on 11-16, which was 
afterwards shown to be a White win by Dr. Irving, and forms the 
solitary example on 11-16 to be found in the guide books. 

d — White's strongest line of attack. 

e — A variation from the Wyllie-Martins game, introduced by 
Robertson and undoubtedly superior to 27-23 as played in that game. 

f — ^This varies from Robertson's play, where 1-6 is given, followed 
by 30-26, etc., drawn ; but I am of opinion that 23-19 (instead of 
30-26) is a more powerful reply to 1-6, and gives White almost a 
winning advantage. Freedman doubtless had this in view when he 
adopted 4-8. 

I submit the following play in support of my contention : — 



1-6

And then 7-32, 22-17, etc. W. wins. 

g — ^This sets up a powerful attack, confining Black to one safe 
reply out of a variety of probable moves, thus increasing the danger 
of the situation. 

h — The position at this stage, of which I give a diagram, is a 
striking illustration of the inherent weakness of Black's game. 
This " break " proves to be the only resource to avert defeat. If, 
instead, he plays 1-6, or 2-7, or 3-7, or 9-14, all of them probable 
moves, so far as I can see White wins in every case. I append a 
few variations as examples (see diagram).

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



j — ^Xhis, I think, is the loser, at any rate I have not been able to 
discover a sound draw after it ; 7-10, instead, appears to keep 
Black's game sound, as follows : —

a — Jordan has been unfortunate in his defence of this line of the 
. '* Denny " in his last two matches. 

b — Against C. F. Barker he played 14-18 on purpose to avoid the 
complications arising from the move in the text, and dropped into 
a variation that the " Boston School " had specially " cooked " for 
his delectation. I have it on Freedman's own authority that he 
was not " coached " for this encounter by any " Glasgow Gang," 
as freely stated in some of the papers at the time ; but nevertheless 
his play in this and the next game shows that he was well prepared 
both for attack and defence in this opening. 

C — This is now a variation of the " Bristol-Cross," examples of 
which opening are to be found in the earliest-known literature of the 
game. 

From the Lihro Del Juego De Las Damas, a Spanish treatise on the 
game, published in 1650, I had the pleasure some 14 or 15 years ago 
of extracting the now well-known " Canalejas's Stroke " formed from 
this opening by 11-16, 23-18, 16-20, 24-19, 8-11, then 19-15, etc.. 
White wins. This had been rediscovered by the late J. Robertson, 
and it came as a surprise to draughts players generall}^ to find that 
Robertson had been anticipated by the Spanish author nearly 250 
years previously. Canalejas's work, I may say, en passant, is a 
mine of wealth in the openings, and contains numerous " strokes " 
from the " Single Corner," " Souter," " Old Fourteenth," " Whilter," 
and other standard openings, which are commonly credited to later 
authors ; the end play is, however, necessarih^ different. 



20 



DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



d — 16-20 finds most favour at this point ; 7-11 is also good. The 
move in the text has hitherto been regarded with disfavour as a 
rather weak line for Black to enter upon, and the two games played 
on that line in this match seem to confirm that conclusion. 

e — If 24-20, 7-10, 22-17, 9-13, we have the same combination as 
developed in the game. 

f — 14-18, 17-14 is a^ sound line, running into some pretty play 
published by the late J. Bell some 15 j^ears ago, from which I take 
the following excerpt : —

g — Spayth's Checker Player gives an interesting variation here 
by 27-24, 13-22, 25-9, 5-14, *32-27, drawn. If White plays 29-25 
instead of *32-27, a Black win is shown by continuing 3-7, 32-27, 7-11, 
26-22, 11-18, 22-15, 14-18, 30-26, 12-16, etc. J. Alexander, however, 
shows a neat correction of Spayth's pla}^ in the latter variation, by 
replying to 3-7 with 25-22, then if 7-11, 22-17, 11-18, 24-15, 10-19, 
17-10, 6-15, 32-27. Drawn. 

h — If 2-7 is played here. White appears to have a winning 
''stroke " by 28-24, 19-28, 30-26, 10-19, 17-10, 7-14, 22-17, etc. 

i — The game at this point is identical with a variation given in 
the Checker Player, brought up from the " Bristol-Cross " opening 
by the following order of moves :— 11-16, 23-18, 10-14, 18-15, 16-19, 
22-17, 7-10, 25-22, 9-13, 30-25, 5-9, 24-20, 8-11, 15-8, 4-11, and the

probably what Jordan was playing for, but " the best-laid schemes of 
mice and men gang aft agley," and Freedman's next move showed 
that he was quite alert to the situation, and effectually checked 
Black's attack. 

j — ^This varies from the Checker Player, and is a decided improve- 
ment. 

k — ^This move is not to be commended, Black finishes up with 
decidedly the worst of the " break," being left in a very critical situa- 
tion. 11-15 is better, and appears to lead to a sound game, as follows : 

11-15 20 16 2-11 24 20 15-18 20 11 31-24 3-7 

32 27 7-11 27 23 1-5 22 8 19-26 28 19 14-17 
3-7 16 7 12-16 31 27 13-31 8 3 26-30 Drawn 

I — ^This looks to me like the losing move, as it allowed White to 
set a trap by 20-16, which compelled Black to '' cut " 8-11, for if he 
had played 2-7 instead White would have replied with 27-23, followed 
by 19-26, 22-17, 12-19, 17-3, etc. White wins. 14-18 (instead of 
1-6) appears to lead to a highly-critical draw. The following is a 
probable continuation : — 

14-18 29 22 2-6 28 19 11-15 3 7 28-32 31 22 
21 17 8-11 tl4 10 15-24 7 3 15-19 27 23 32-27 
18-25 17 14 19-24 10 7 24-28 22 17 19-26 17 14 
Then 1-5, and I can see nothing but a draw. 

tif 27-24, 19-23, 14-10, 23-27 appears to draw. 

m — ^The win is now assured.

a — Not so strong as 24-20, the line adopted in the preceding 
game, against which Black is almost compelled to play 9-13, leaving 
White fine scope for variety. The move in the text allows Black 
to relieve himself somewhat from the cramped position incidental 
to the opening after 16-19 at the fifth move. 

b — This varies from the International Match Games, 1899, where 
Halliwell played 24-20 and lost to W. Campbell by 7-11, 26-22, 11-18, 
22-15, 19-23, 27-18, 14-23, etc., B. wins. Campbell adopted 25-22 
against Halliwell, and a fine game ensued, resulting in a draw. 

C — At this point 14-18 looks sound enough on the surface, but 
.after 23-16, 12-19, 21-17, it becomes evident that Black's game is 
very much cramped, and it is questionable if he can draw.

a — ^This move brings the game at once into a variation of the 
'* Switcher " opening, the regular formation of which is by 11-15, 
21-17. Great historical interest attaches to this opening, which was 
the invention and the peculiar favourite of the late ** Herd Laddie." 
Since the Wyllie-Martins match of 1863 it has figured in nearly all 
the important contests that have taken place. One match between 
these two celebrities — the greatest exponents of their day — was 
played solely to decide the question of the soundness of a leading 
variation, formed as follows :— 11-15, 21-17, 9-13, 25-21, 8-11, 17-14, 
10-17, 21-14, 6-10, 22-17, 13-22, 26-17, 15-18, 29-25— which had been 
the subject of controversy for many years previous among the 
leading players of the world. Imagine, if you can, the intense 
interest this contest aroused. Glasgow, the arena upon which the 
eyes of two hemispheres were fixed, eagerly watching the contest 
between the two most renowned gladiators in the world ! It is now 
a matter of history that Wyllie triumphantly established the sound- 
ness of his favourite combination. The games may be found in 
Wyllie 's *' Switcher " book (now a scarce work), and also in Gould's 
Memorable Match Games. 

The " Switcher " is undoubtedly a weak opening for White, yet 
in the hands of a master like the late " Herd Laddie," who had made 
a thorough study of its intricacies, it could, in his day, be used with 
telling effect, especially in exhibition play, throwing the ordinary 
amateur completely off his " book " knowledge. This has all been 
changed, however. Wyllie's ** shots " and " traps " have been widely 
published, his games have been made the foundation of extensive 
analyses, and now-a-days the ordinary '' book-player " is as well 
posted on that as on any of the standard openings. 

To come back to the present game — 9-13, 21-17 — from which I 
am afraid I have rambled to a tiresome length, I may say that 5-9 
is a strong move at this point, which has been adopted with success 
in several of the Scottish Tourneys, and leads to a variety of com- 
binations which have not been much explored. It is therefore a good 
foundation for the ingenious tourney-player to work upon. The 
annexed example is an excerpt from the Record of the International 
Match Games, 1903, published by J. A. Kear, junior, an admirable 
addition to the standard literature of the game :-

24 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

b — 23-18, if followed by either 12-16 or 5-9, gives Black a more 
powerful attack than allowed by the move in the text, and is there- 
fore more rarely adopted in practice. 

C — 15-19 is a variation known as the " Dyke-Switcher," which was 
much favoured b}/ the late W. Strickland, who published some 
interesting examples. I adopted this move with success in one oi 
the English Championship Tourneys, and consider it is a good line 
for Black, though it has not been much in evidence of late ; 5-9, as 
played in the next game, meets with more approval as a powerful 
attacking move at this point. 

d — This variation was, I believe, original with Dr. Yates, who 
adopted it in his match with Wyllie, and has been much favoured by 
the leading American players ever since ; it has also become recently 
a very popular line with our experts. Although 17-14 is generally 
considered safer, I have always had a preference for the move in the 
text. 

e — ^The older lines of attack are by 11-15 and 11-16, both to be 
recommended. The move in the text was brought into prominence 
by the late J. Lees some few years ago, and is considered by many 
to be Black's strongest play at this point. The present game cer- 
tainly supports that opinion, though I think White's defence is 
open to improvement, as I will point out at a later stage. 

f — ^This, I think, is White's strongest play, and is the line generally 
followed in recent tourney and match play ; 30-25 is considered 
almost untenable, though a forced win for Black has yet to be shown. 

g — Up to this point the game is identical with the 28th in the 
Barker-Jordan match, original with the late J. Lees, who gave 12-lft 
as Black's strongest play. Jordan played 1-5, however, against 
Barker, the game running on 31-27, 12-16, 27-24, 3-8, 26-23, 16-20, 
30-25, 20-27, 18-15, 11-18, 23-14, etc. Drawn. Since then, no doubt, 
he has given the game renewed attention, the outcome being the 
introduction of the move in the text, which inaugurates a dangerous 
attack, difficult to meet. Freedman was evidently unprepared for 
the innovation, and therefore fell a somewhat easy victim. 

h — This move seems all right ; it compels Black to play 1-5, keeps 
his forces on that side of the board in a confined situation, and at 
the same time relieves White from the cramped position in which 
he has been held since the formation of the opening. 

• i — I am under the impression that this is the losing move. White 
was compelled to fill the " hole " on 25 (otherwise he would have lost 
a piece by the exchange), but 30-25 commends itself, I think, as the 
best move for that purpose. I give a diagram of the position, with 
play showing the draw. 

j — Possibly Freedman was under the impression when he played 
29-25 that he could follow with 32-27 here and then 26-23, but saw 
afterwards that 16-20 spoils that combination ; for if he plays 26-23 
in reply to 16-20, the " three for three " by 13-17, 22-13, 20-24, etc.. 
wins for Black ; and if he " cuts " 27-24, his only alternative, then 
follows 20-27, 31-24, 8-12, 24-19, 2-7, 26-23, 11-16, 30-26. 6-10. 21-17. 
4-8, etc. B. wins.

k — White has no better defence. Jordan has pointed out that

9-18, 22-15, 19-23, 26-19, 6-10, etc., B. wins ; and the foUowing

26 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

b — ^There has been a wide difference of opinion among experts 
as to the merits of this move. The late J. Lees, in his notes to the 
Third Scottish Tourney Games, 1895, classed it as '* weak, practically 
untenable," and recommended 23-18 instead ; which also is the 
opinion expressed by the annotator of the Eighth Scottish Tourney 
Games, published in the Draughts World, 1901. 

On the other hand, so far back as 1886, the late W. Strickland 
considered it to be White's strongest reply to 5-9, and found it a 
safe defence in his match with Gardner, played in that year. R. 
Stewart also favours this move, and in my opinion he fully established 
its soundness in his match with R. Jordan in 1897. The annotators 
of these match games say concerning it : — " In our opinion there 
can be no question as to the soundness of 29-25 ; and, further, we 
consider it much safer than 23-18." Since then Jordan has shown 
his appreciation of the move by adopting it in his last two matches 
for the world's championship, securing a safe draw on each occasion, 
so that I think its soundness is now established beyond doubt. 

C — Stewart played this move against Barrie and Buchanan in 
the Third Scottish Tourney, and was successful in both games ; 
15-19 was played by A. Hynd against A. Jordan in the English 
Championship Tourney, 1900, and proved to be not so strong ; 
Gardner played 8-11 against Strickland in their match, and White 
had no difficulty in drawing, as follows : —

d — ^After this '' break," I consider that White's position is quite 
equal to Black's, if not a trifle stronger. 

e — As played by Jordan against Stewart, and is, I think, Black's 
strongest move here. The annotators of these match games pointed 
out 12-16 as '* perhaps a shade stronger than 4-8," continuing witk 
26-23. Barker adopted the 12-16 move against Jordan, to which the 
latter replied with 24-20, the game resulting in a draw. I am,, 
however, inclined to favour 24-19 in reply to 12-16, as played by 
Gardner against J. Hynd, in the English Tourney, 1900, as follows : — 

12-16 26 10 4-8 24 19 11-15 30 26 7-11 22 18 
24 19 6-15 27 24 15-24 19 10 6-15 14 10 19-24 
16-23 32 27 8-11 28 19 2-6 25 21 15-19 Drawn 
f — Barrie and Buchanan both '* cut " 24-19 here, in their games 

with Stewart, in the third Scottish Tourney, which was the weak 

play in their defence, and led to the ultimate loss of the games ; 

the move in the text is much stronger. 

g — I can see nothing stronger for Black at these points. 

h — This varies from the Jordan-Stewart game, where 7-11 was 

played, and the ending proved very critical for Black.

-White can safely play 31-26, allowing the ** shot " by 12-16, 
19-12, 3-8, etc., which, although it looks so dangerous, only draws, 
and against anything else White gets the better game. 

I — Best ; with his " crown-head " almost intact. Black can well 
afford the sacrifice, clearing the way for a King. 

m — The critical stages are safely passed, and the draw is now easy 
for both sides, as \\'hite in turn is compelled to give up a piece to 
make way into his opponent's " crown-head."

28 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

a — 6-10 is an alternative line of defence that is again coming 
into favour, and is, I think, quite as strong as the move in the text. 

It was originally intoduced by J. A. Kear some thirty years ago, 
in a little international match he played by correspondence with the 
late R. E. Bowen, of America. The late J. Bell also published 
some play on that line in 1882. It has since figured in several 
important matches, notably in the Wyllie- Jordan and Ferrie- Jordan 
contests. That and the move in the text may now be regarded as 
the standard replies to the 22-17 line of the " Denny." The alterna- 
tive of 14-18, pla3^ed in the Wyllie-Martins match, 1867, and later 
in the Campbell v. McKelvie and Jordan v. Wyllie matches, is prac- 
tically very inferior, though R. Jordan shows the following draw : — 

14-18 6-9 5-9 7-14 18-25 1-5 11-15 6-9

26 23 30 26 17 10 25 22 22 18 31 26 26 22 

b — This is now generally accepted as Black's strongest move at 
this point ; but there is plenty of published play on 11-15, an alterna- 
tive line originated by the late J. Bell, 1882, since played in a number 
of important contests, generally with disastrous results for Black, 
until the W3dlie-Ferrie and Ferrie-Jordan matches, and the " Last 
Battle " between the veteran masters, Wyllie and Martins, established 
its soundness. 

C — 25-22 is sound, and often played ; but the text is considered 
White's strongest attack. 

d — 11-15, though it looks weak, may be safely played. For 
example : —

e — This varies from the Jordan-Stewart and Barker- Jordan 
games, and, so far as I am aware, is the first time the variation has 
figured in match-play. In the notes to the Jordan-Stewart games 
attention was directed to it as being " almost if not quite as strong 
as the text " (26-23). While it certainly has the merit of leading 
to a variety of original combinations, yet I think the games in the 
present match show it to be inferior to 26-23 as an attacking move. 

f — This varies from play by the late J. Lees, who gives 17-14. 
In the next game Jordan varied here by 26-23. 

g — 17-14 runs into the play given in the notes to the Jordan- 
Stewart games. The move in the text avoids complications, and 
compels Black to break up his base, but it leaves White with little, 
if any, advantage of position. 

h — ^This move was probably made to avoid the " shot " which 
would follow if 29-25 were plaved, viz. 18-23, 27-18, 7-10, 14-7, 12-16, 
20-11, 8-29, etc. Drawn.

a — 26-23 is the favourite line of attack at this point, as mentioned 
in the notes to the preceding game. Barker took that line against 
Jordan in their match at Boston, U.S.A., and should have won.

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



b — ^This move varies from the preceding game, and is, I think, 
stronger than 25-21, as played by Freedman. 

C — This exchange is weak, as I will show later ; 5-9, as played by 
Brown against Alexander in the international match, 1903, seems 
preferable, as follows : — 

5-9 32 27 1-5 18 9 11-16 24 19 4-8 30 26

d — I think White's play is open to improvement at this point : 
30-26 sets up an attack that Black would have found some difficulty 
in meeting. I append a diagram of the situation, with play, by 
way of illustration. 

e — Black has evidently had this sacrifice in view for some time 
past, and an examination of the position shows it to be perfectly 
sound, and leading to a safe draw. 

f— If 22-18, then, of course, follows 6-10, 13-6, 10-19, 18-15, etc.

a — ^This was the original formation of the opening, as given by 
Anderson in his Second Edition, but it has now become the custom to 
style all games commencing with 11-15, 24-20, " Ayrshire Lassie." 
The opening is an old one, and was h-4d in high favour by " Herd 
Laddie," who played it against Anderson in their second match at 
Edinburgh in 1840 ; he also gave it its title. His own name is as 
indissolubly attached to this as to the " Switcher " opening, most of 
the finest examples given in the various Guides being from his 
practice. 

There has been a diversity of opinion among players as to the 
soundness of this opening. The great Anderson condemned it as 
weak, and his analysis showed more Black wins than anything else 
resulting from it ; but Wyllie's experience shows quite the contrary 
result, as he scored with the White side in match play against R. 
Martins, W. R. Barker, R. D. Yates, C. H. Freeman, and other 
renowned players. The late W. Strickland also considered it a sound 
debut for White, and I believe such is now the general opinion 
among the leading players. 

b — Varies from Anderson's analysis, where 32-28 is given. The 
text move was, I believe, introduced by Robertson in friendly 
practice with Wyllie, and the present game from this point to the 
end is a repetition of one of their games. It is also identical with the 
twenty-second game in the Barker- Jordan match, and is a good 
sound line for White. 

C— 1-6, 31-27, 15-19, 23-16, 6-9, 21-17, 14-21, 22-18, 9-14, 18-9,

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



a — Varies from the preceding game. This was Wyllie's favourite 
line with White, and he played it with great success, being well 
versed in all its intricacies. 

b — ^This varies from Anderson's play, where 11-15 is given, 
followed by 22-17, 8-11, 23-19, 14-18, etc. Drawn. The text 
move was, I believe, original with the late Mr. Seton, of Edinburgh, 
who played it against Wyllie in 1850. 

C — Wyllie usually played 22-17 here, which leads to a stronger 
ending for White than the move in the text. I append an example 
from the International Match Games, 1894, in which Wyllie played 
the White side against myself, and scored a win by some tricky 
play in the ending, as follows : —

a — ^A fine combination for bringing out original and critical play. 

b — 24-20, as played by Yates against Wyllie is the strongest play 
liere ; but, then, it is also the most explored, and Freedman, being a 
.ame behind, was bound to try for " fresh fields and pastures new." 

The following interesting variation was played between Yates

Jordan v. Stewart, First Scottish Tourney. 

C — Strong, and leads to quite an original game ; 5-9, 23-18, 11-15 
runs into a variation of the " S\^'itcher." 

d— If 24-15, 11-25, 29-22, 5-9, 23-18, 10-15, 18-11. 8-15, Black 
has the better game 

e — WTiite has at least two sound alternatives here. viz. 29-25 and 
^4-19 ; probably 30-25 \\t11 also draw. 

In the first instance, for example— if 29-25. 5-9, 17-14, 9-18. 22-15, 
10-19, 24-15, 7-10. 27-24, 20-27, 31-24. 10-19, 24-15, 2-7. 32-27. and 
the game is equal. 

In the second place, it is interesting to note. 24-19 brings out the 
iame ending as the game, as follows : — 

24 19 9-14 22 18 6-13 25 18 10-17 29 25 6-10

BJack to play 

j — Varies from Durgin 's play, the continuation given in his 
Single Corner Book being— 11-15, 32-27, 15-24, 28-19, 8-11. 19-16, 
11-15, 16-12, 15-18, 17-13, etc. Drawn. 

This position is another example of the limitation of the game. In 
Polish draughts, I may say, en passant, such a coincidence would be 
almost impossible ; that form of the game, therefore, offers a wider 
field for the exhibition of practical skill, its depths and variety being, 
as Wyllie has stated, ** profound and unfathomable as the mightj'^ 
ocean." I am inclined to think it is the only form of the game that 
will in time become international, the same as the game of chess. 

k— If 23-18, then, of course, follows 12-16, 19-12, 10-15, and 
Black should win.

a — This is a combination that makes it difficult for either player to 
avoid well-known *' book " play without weakening his game, at the 
same time leaving Black a wide selection of standard openings to 
choose from. 

b — 27-23, forming the *' Defiance " opening, has always had my 
preference at this point, as it narrows Black's choice of reply. The 
text move leaves Black the option of forming *' Fife," ** Souter," 
"Whilter," ''Glasgow," or "Old Fourteenth," all well-analysed 
openings, variety enough, surely, to satisfy the most fastidious critic. 

C — This is now a variation of the " Whilter," one of the oldest his- 
torical openings. Anderson says the name dates back to long before 
his time, and gives the derivation of the title from " Whulter,"' 
Scottice for overturning. Gilbertson, in his notes to the Jordan- 
Wyllie match games, with some show of reason, differs with Ander- 
son's conclusions, and says'Vhulter" in Scotch is a stunning, resound- 
ing blow, caused by a fall, corresponding to the English word thud ; 
and he expresses the opinion that the idea which prompted the name 
was probably similar to that which led Wyllie to name the 
" Switcher," i.e. some player of repute in bygone days not only 
upsetting the calculations of his opponents, but also whipping, or 
'* whulting " them soundly by means of this opening, which is a 
strong one for the Black side. 

d — The favourite reply at this point, and undoubtedly the 
strongest ; 27-23, 5-9, 17-13, 16-20, 31-27, forms the " Glasgow- 
Whilter," an opening the soundness of which has been a question of 
dispute among experts and analysts for the last thirty years, but 
which is now generally conceded to be a loss for White. Neither 29-25 
nor 17-13 are alternatives to be recommended, though both are 
considered drawable. 

e — Beware of playing 3-7 at this point, as C. Smith inadvertenth' 
did in his match with Birkinshaw, and lost by 22-18, 15-22, 19-15, 
etc. W. wins. 

f — ^White, in turn, must also beware of playing 23-18 here, 
which loses by 14-23, 27-11, 8-15, 31-27, 16-23, 27-11, 3-8, and 
Black's superiority is evident. 

g — 22-17 is the usual play here, followed by 8-11 (Drunjimond 
shows that 7-11 loses), 31-26 (Anderson shows that 24-20 loses), 
and then it is same as the game.

been expressed at Freedman adopting the move in the text, which has 
been well known to lead to a weak ending for White ever since 
Coltherd played it against Way in their match at Newcastle in 1859. 

k — Up to this point the game is identical with the Way-Coltherd 
game ; here the former played 5-9, the continuation being 2-6, 9-13, 
6-10, 24-28, 1-6, 28-32, 10-15, 32-28, 6-10, 13-17, etc. Drawn. The 
continuation of the present game is decidedly stronger for Black. 

I— If 22-18, 15-22, 26-17, 31-26, etc., B. wins. 

m— If 2-6, 19-23, 26-19, 31-26, etc., B. wins. These two variations 
show the trappy nature of the ending. 

n — 11-15 would have drawn easily ; for if 24-28, 15-24, 27-20, 
26-23, and White's course is clear ; or if 19-23, 26-19. 31-26, 30-23, 
27-11, 22-18, and the draw is apparent. 

— Freedman gets " trapped " here. I cannot lind a draw for 
White after this move. I think he had a critical draw at this point 
by playing 17-21 instead. I append a diagram of the situation, which 
will be found to afford material for a very interesting study : —

a — ^This move allows more scope for originality than 11-15, as 
played in the preceding game, although probably it is not so strong. 

b — This leads to a fine original game ; Heffner played 27-23, 
against Freeman, resulting in a draw ; 19-15, 10-19, 24-15, 16-19, 
forms a position which can be brought up from the " Cross " and 
" Bristol Cross " openings, thus :— 11-15, 23-18, 15-19 ; or 11-16, 
23-18, 16-19, 24-15, 10-19, 18-15, 9-14. An extended analysis of 
this line by the late W. Strickland is given in Bowen's Cross, a scarce 
work, from which I quote the following variation for the purpose of 
showing a neat correction of the book : — 

19 15 27 24 17 14 24 20 30 23

f Strickland gives this and 13-17 as draw moves. 

X Corrects Bowen's Cross, where 15-10, 6-15, 21-17, etc., is played, 
resulting in a draw. 

C — A strong line for Black.

e— If 5-9, 22-17, 8-11, 19-16, 12-19, 24-8, 4-11, 23-19, gives 
White a good game. 

f — At this point, 19-15 is a sound variation for White, leading 
to a great variety of original combinatiors, being, therefore,

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



a — ^There is very little published play on this opening, which 
appears to lead to quite an even game, with plenty of scope for 
variety on both sides. 

b— Robertson gives 12-16, 24-20, 8-12, 27-24, 3-8, etc., and 
Black gets a good game. 

C — ^This position may also be evolved from the ** Bristol " opening, 
as follows :— 11-16, 22-18, 9-13, 25-22, 5-9, 30-25, 10-14. 

d — 18-15 was played in the game succeeding this, leading to a 
draw ; 24-19 is also a good sound alternative, a likely continuation 
being as follows : — 

28 24 24 19 
*10-15 15-24 
17 10 21 17 
4-8 6-15 

* Improves a game between W. Gardner and J. Berry, of Halifax. 

e — 7-14 commends itself as a more binding move ; but Jordan 
with a lead of two games has no necessity to exert himself, and 
therefore probably adopted the move in the text with the object of 
bringing the play into well-known lines. 

f — ^The position is now identical (colours reversed) with a leading 
and well- analysed variation of the " Glasgow," which has figured 
in many important matches during the past fifty years. Tht?

i — ^The " cut," 7-10, 14-17, 3-10, is sound, and brings out a variety 
of critical endings. 

j — This varies from the Wyllie-Barker game, and lends variety to 
the finish, without introducing anything specially critical ; Barker

a — 10-14, 26-23, 11-16 was the order of play in the preceding game. 

b — ^This varies from the previous game, where Freedman took the 
" break " by 22-17, etc.; the move in the text is preferable to that, in 
my estimation, but I consider 24-19 is White's strongest play at 
this point. 

C— If 16-20, 22-17, 13-22, 26-10, 7-14, 25-22, and the game is equal. 

d — Best ; indeed, it is questionable if White has a sound alterna- 
tive. The only other likely move is 27-23, then foUows 1-5, 23-16, 
8-11, 15-8, 4-27, and W^hite gets the inferior position whichever 
way he takes the piece. 

e — Black has nothing better, and the game revolves into a series of 
exchanges, presenting no special points of interest. The position at 
this stage is almost identical with the 3-8 variation of the " Laird and 
Lady" (colours reversed), the only difference beirg that the piece is on 
9 instead of 5, which appears to strengthen Black. See diagram

a — ^These two moves constitute the most powerful attack that 
can be formed against the " Dundee " opening. 

b — 22-18, as played in the Barker- Jordan match, is the favourite 
move at this point to sustain the attack ; 22-17 is also strong ; the 
move in the text has not been so much favoured of late, though it 
was often played by Wyllie and the older school of experts. 

C — The only sound reply, but it at once secures a position of 
equality for Black ; the ending has been well thrashed out in the 
books. 

d — Strickland shows a draw by 11-8, though it is not so strong 
as the text, as follows : —

Drawn 



a — ^The favourite line of attack with present-day experts. 

b — ^The accepted reply. 

C — Wyllie played 24-19 against R. D. Yates. The move in the 
text is credited to the late R. W. Mulholland, in the British Draughts 
Flayer, but was brought more prominently into notice by C. F. Barker, 
who scored a win off Jordan with it in their match at Boston, 1900. 
Since then it has come in for a great share of attention from the ex- 
perts and analysts, and a sound draw for Black has been demon- 
strated. 



44 



DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



d — Barker's innovation, and varies from Mulholland's play, 
where 21-17, 13-22, 25-18, 11-16, etc., gives Black an easy game. 

e — In the notes to the Barker- Jordan Match Games, 10-14 is given 
as stronger for Black, but the move in the text is quite sound. 

f — Jordan took the " cut " by 15-19, etc., against Barker, and 
eventually lost. The move in the text was introduced by J. Maize, 
the Checker editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch, as an improvement 
of the Barker- Jordan game. It was also adopted by Cain in the 
English Championship Tourney, 1902, who scored a win with it 
from A. Jordan, of London. 

g — ^This varies from the game between Cain and Jordan ; the 
latter played 21-17. The move in the text makes the game highly 
critical for Black. The following diagram shows the situation : —

h — ^The best, if not, indeed, the only move to draw. If 8-12, 21-17, 
16-19, 20-16, etc., W. wins ; or if 16-19 is played at once, which seems 
a very likely move. Black appears to lose also, as follows : — 16-19, 
30-26, 8-12, tl8-14, 10-17, 21-14, 4-8, 29-25, 12-16, 25-21, 8-12,

a — This forms the " Will-o '-the- Wisp," a well-analysed standard 
opening. 

b — ^The exchange by 22-18 is more favoured than the move in the 
text, which at the best leads to a rather weak game for White. 

C — Black's strongest reply. 

d — This varies from the " books," but can scarcely be called an 
improvement, as it undoubted^ leaves White with an inferior 
position compared to that of his opponent. The exchange by 22-18- 
is preferable, though in any case Black has a powerful game after 
26-23 at the fourth move.

e — It is of interest to note that at this stage the position is identi- 
cal with a variation of the " Kelso," but with the difference that it is 
White's turn to play, whereas in the " Kelso " it is Black's. This 
difference of one move appears to considerably weaken White's game, 
though 1 think 30-26 makes a better defence than the move in the 
text, and would very probably have drawn.

46 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

The position on the diagram is brought up from the " Kelso," as 
follows :— 10-15, 22-18, 15-22, 25-18, 11-15, 18-11, 8-15. 29-25, 4-8, 
25-22, 8-11, 23-19, 6-10, 22-17, 9-14, 26-23. 

f — Obviously White's only move with any prospect of averting 
defeat. If 31-26, 9-13, 25-22, 5-9, etc., B. wins. 

g— At first sight, the " two for two " by 19-15 or 19-16 looks 
promising for a draw, but in either case Black would afterwards 
gain the piece on 27, and win easity. Freedman no doubt realised 
the fact that his game was hopeless, but he *' stuck to his guns " 
as long as he could make an3/thing like a show of defence.

a — Bad ! The loss of the previous game had evidently upset 
Freedman, and he resorted to desperate measures to try and retrieve 
his fortunes ; but against so cool and experienced a match player 
as his opponent these tactics only made bad worse, and he again 
suffered defeat.

a — Undoubtedly the best move ; 6-9 is sometimes played, running 
the game into a variation of the " Denny," but is not so strong. 

b — Taking possession of tlie centre of the board, and is probabh' 
the best reply ; but 22-17 is also a sound variation, and one that has 
not been so much explored as the text, which is a line usually brought 
Mp by the following opening moves : — 9-14, 22-18, 5-9, 24-20, and 
which has been well exploited both in match play and in the " books." 



MATCH GAMES. 



47 



This opening was not included in Anderson's original work, but 
play was given upon it in McCuUoch's and Janvier's editions. 

Drummond was the first author to give extended play upon it, 
in the Scottish Draughts Player, first edition, 1838. 

C— Drummond gives 12-16, 29-25, 4-8, 25-22, 8-12, 28-24, making 
it same as the text at (d). 

d — This varies from Drummond's play, where the continuation 
given is 16-20, 24-19, 1-5, 32-28, or 27-24,'' etc. Drawn. 

e — ^This position mav also be brought up by the following order 
of moves :— 9-14, 22-18, 5-9, 24-19, 11-15, 18-11, 8-24, 28-19, 4-8, 
25-22, 8-11, 22-18, 11-16, 29-25, 7-11, but here White, instead of 
playing 25-22, has the option of the exchange by 18-15, 11-18, 21-17, 
which is preferable, and is usually taken. 

To return to the text, 24-20 at this point gives White a good sound 
game, and is, 1 think, preferable. For example : — 

24^0 27 24 32 28 24 19 28 19 18 9 22 18 18 9 

10-15 6-10 1-5 15-24 9-13 5-14 3-7 11-15 

Followed by 20-11, 7-16, 21-17, etc. Drawn. 

f — ^A critical draw by 32-28 at this point has been shown by Mr. 
Hugh Scott, as follows : —

have a sound draw against anvthing. If 7-10, 19-15, 10-19, 24-8, 
12-16, *28-24, 3-12, 24-19, 16-23, 22-18, etc., drawn. 

i — Although White's position looks rather precarious, 1 can find 
nothing stronger for Black than the text, and the draw seems assured.

* The only moves to draw. 
a — -This move was introduced by the late J. Smith in his practice 
match with W. Gardner, 1888, and was for some time considered 
inferior to the older attack by 11-16, Some further play upon it was 
afterwards published in the Draughts World by the late J, Lees, 
which served to show that it was stronger than was usually thought ; 
but it was brought more prominently into notice by Jordan playing 
it against Ferrie in their match for the World's Championship at 
Glasgow, 1896, the game ending in a draw, and since then it has 
become quite a favourite move with the leading experts. 

b — The accepted best reply. Gardner played 25-22 against 
Smith, but it is not considered so strong as the text. 

C — Lees gives play to show that 25-18 will draw, but the text 
has met with most favour. 

d — This is a strong move, and varies from Lees' play, and from 
the Jordan-Ferrie game, where 1-5 was played, resulting in a draw, 
as follows : — 

1-5 9-18 t6-9 14-17 11-16 12-16 4-8 8-12 

*22 17 30 26 til 13 21 14 20 11 20 11 10 6 6 2

23 14 32 28 29 25 26 19 24 20 14 10 13 6 Drawn 

* Varies from Lees' play, the continuation there given being 
24-19, 3-7, etc. Drawn. ' 

f This position also arises from the "Denny" opening. See 
Game No 40, page 80.

I The following variation was played between Gardner and 
Buchanan in the International Match at Glasgow, 1899 : —

Drawn 
To return to the text, at (d), 9-13 was played by Wendemuth, of 
Chicago, in a game with C. F. Barker, at Boston, May, 1902, but it 
appears to be inferior to either 1-5 or 3-7. For example :— 

9-13 18 9 14-23 32 28 8-15 15 6 8-11 

30 26 5-14 27 18 15-19 29 22 2-18 24 20

1-5 23 18 12-16 20 11 7-10 28 24 15-19 

Drawn 

* Corrects the Wendemuth-Barker game, where the former 
played 11-15, and White won. Further play on this variation will be 
found in the Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement, May 31st, 1902. 

e— 29-25 was played by Alfred Jordan against Tescheleit in the 
London Championship Match, October, 1902, and appears to draw, 
as follows : — 

29 25 15-18 27 18 2-7 26 19 18-23 19 15 Drawn— 
1-5 *31 26 14-23 19 15 8-11 26 22 11-18 Jordan 
23 19 18-23 21 17 11-18 30 26 4-8 22 15 

* Jordan played 19-15, and lost in the ending. 

f— If 24-19, 15-24, 18-23, 27-18, 11-16, etc., Black has the better 

game. 

g — The following diagram shows the situation at this point, 
Vv'hich is an exceeding^ critical one for White, so critical, indeed, 
that many of the spectators thought that Freedman would have little 
difficulty in scoring a win : —

50 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

For the next seven moves any variation from the text would 
have lost for White. 

h — Just in time ! A fine piece of critical end-play from (f) to 
this point. I consider this game one of the finest in the match. 

i— If 27-24, 10-6, 22-18, 15-22, 24-15, 6-1, 9-14, 1-6, 4-8, 28-24, 
8-11, etc., drawn. 

j — Neither side can be said to possess any appreciable advantage 
now, but the game was continued from this point to a great length 
before being finally abandoned as drawn.

a — ^This is considered the weakest of the seven possible replies 
to the 10-15 opening, and it has proved a stumbling block to the 
player of the White side in several important matches. 

b — Black's strongest line of attack. 

C — ^This is decidedly inferior to 22-18, the line adopted by Jordan 
in the next game. 

d — The late J. Lees, in his notes to the Ferrie- Jordan Match Games, 
gives play showing a critical draw by 27-23, which was the line 
adopted by A. Hynd against A. Cain in the final round of the English 
Championship Tourney, 1902. Hynd varied early from Lees' play, 
but the result was disastrous, the game ending in a win for Black. 

e — ^This " break " varies from the Ferrie- Jordan game, and will 
stand sound for a draw, unless Black's play can be improved upon, 
which I think is rather doubtful. Jordan played 27-24 against 
Ferrie, and lost by 11-15, 25-22, 8-12, 17-13, 14-18, 22-17, 3-7, 17-14, 
10-17, 21-14, 1-6, 31-27, 18-22, 26-17, 6-9, etc. B. wins. 

f — After this move there is no draw for White, so far as I can see. 
The win is not an evident one at this point ; indeed, the move in the 
text is the most likely looking one at White's option ; but Jordan 
evidently had a full grasp of the situation, and his reply leaves White 
without a loophole for escape.

a — Undoubtedly stronger than 27-24, as played in the preceding 
game, allowing scope for a variety of sound pla}^ on both sides. 

b— If 9-14, 18-9, 5-24, 25-22, 11-15, we have a variation usually 
brought up from the " Bristol " opening, thus :— 11-16, 24-20, 16-19, 
23-16, 12-19, 22-18, 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 25-22, 10-15. 

C — At this point 9-14 is also sound for a draw, and is, I think, 
preferable to the move in the text. 

d — Black's game is sound at this point, but this move seems to 
make a complete wreck of it ; 7-10 leads to a safe draw. The 
diagram shows the situation : —

THE SIXTH ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP 

TOURNEY. 



The sixth Tourney for the English Championship, the third 
biennial Tourney held under the auspices of the English Draughts 
Association, was played at Leeds during Easter Week, 1902. The 
Tourney was very successful, the attendance of spectators being 
larger than at any previous one ; the " gate," with subscriptions 
and entrance-fees, clearing all the expenses. 

The event was notable as the first Tourney for the Association 
Championship Troph}^ the " Gelsthorp " Cup. 

The entries numbered thirteen, as follows : — ^Allan Hynd and J. 
Hynd, junr., Manchester ; Willie Gardner, L Brammer, and J. C. 
Moss, Leeds ; A. Jordan and R. Atwell, London ; A. Cain and H. 
Morrall, Liverpool ; F. F. Smith and J. Alexander, Birmingham ; 
J. A. Kear, junr., Bristol ; and T. Goldsboro, Bradford. 

A Playing Committee, including two of the contestants, was 
elected, as follows : — A. Jordan, W. Gardner, A. Roberts, F. Dunne, 
W. J. Wray, G. H. Smith, A. H. Heddle, J. Livingstone, R. Ellis, 
T. Eddison, J. Berry, H. Gardham, H. Green, W. Carter, G. Britton, 
and B. Falkingham. 

The Tourney was opened b}^ Mr. W. S. Cameron, Editor of the 
Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement, supported on the platform by 
Messrs. A. Roberts, Leeds, President of the E.D.A. (in the chair) ; J. 
Townsend, Littleborough, Vice-President of the E.D.A. ; W. J. Wray, 
Halifax, Secretary of the E.D.A.; A. Bryson, Draughts World,

Supplement, Warrington ; W. D. Benstead, Lowestoft ; G. Wathen,

Committee. 

The Tourney lasted eight days, and was won by Albert Cain, of 
Liverpool, who thus became Champion of England for 1902-3. 

Mr. A. Roberts presided at the distribution of prizes, and con- 
gratulated the winner on the fine play he had shown, by going through 
the Tourney without losing a single game. He then handed over 
the prizes to the winners, as follows : — 

First prize (£20, and a handsome draughts-board and set of 
draughtsmen, together with the '' Gelsthorp " Cup, the English 
Association Championship Trophy) — Mr. A. Cain, Liverpool. 

Second prize (£10) — Mr. A. Hynd, Manchester. 

Third prize (£6) — Mr. Willie Gardner, Leeds. 

Fourth prize (£4) — Mr. A. Jordan, London. 
Mr. F. Dunne, on behalf of the players, the press, and the visitors, 
proposed a vote of thanks to the Local Committee who had had the 
conduct of the Tourney. He congratulated them upon their efficient

management. The arrangements and accommodation excelled 
anything that had been done on previous occasions, and would 
reflect credit on even so progressive a city as Leeds. 

Mr. A. Hynd seconded the proposition, which was supported 
by Messrs. Gardner and Wray. 

Mr. A. H. Heddle, the Secretary of the Committee, responded. 

A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed this memorable event.

ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNEY. 55 



THE OPENING ADDRESS. 

Mr. Cameron, who on rising was greeted with applause, addressed 
the meeting, as follows : — 

My first duty, gentlemen, is to welcome you to this city, and to 
express the two-fold hope that you will find Leeds hospitable and kind 
to strangers, and that the proceedings in which you are about to take 
part will be worthy of what is one of the most ancient, innocent, and 
enjoyable of games. (Applause.) Then I have to thank you, which I 
do most sincerely, for the exceeding great honour you have done me in 
asking me to open your Tournament, and to be permitted, therefore, 
to take a leading part in this national gathering. I am only sorry that 
I cannot pretend to be, in the technical sense, qualified for so great a 
distinction, and yet for twenty years and more I have week after 
week been brought into close touch with draughts — with masterly 
problems, remarkable endings, and criticisms of play of the highest 
and most searching nature. But just as a counter clerk in a bank 
may have the handling of untold wealth, and be doubtful of his 
ability to pay his tailor's bill — (laughter) — so the mere fact of my 
having had intimate and continuous dealings with draughts for so 
long a period has not added anything to my knowledge of the game 
and its intricacies. At the same time it has intensified the literary 
interest I take in this delightful pastime, and it keeps me from 
altogether losing heart in an assemblage of experts such as I see 
before me this morning. (Hear, hear.) 

My one difficulty is as to the opening of this Tournament. The 
other day the Lord Mayor of Leeds started a new library in one of 
the districts of the city, and he did so by borrowing the first book. 
In the same w^ay, it has occurred to me that I might be asked to 
start these proceedings by making the first move in the first game, 
though sure am I, if I did so, it would not be my good fortune to make 
the last move in such an encounter. (Laughter.) But, gentlemen, 
little as I know of draughts, there is this to be said of the game — 
and it is something that can hardly be said of any other — that it 
is not only one in which the veriest tyro may indulge, but one from 
which he may emerge humiliated probably, but with the consciousness 
of mental discipline. Its elements, if simple enough for a child to 
understand, have developments and possibilities that are almost 
past finding out. (Applause.) The man has yet to be discovered 
who knows all about draughts, and this gives interest and zest to 
proceedings such as these, for it does not follow that the champion- 
ship, however deservedly won, can ever become the vested right 
of any player. (Hear, hear.) There is always the chance, the risk, 
of someone doing something better and more brilliant at the game 
than the man who went before him. The champion, to make good 
his title, may dispose his forces with all the skill, say, of Lord 
Kitchener, only to find some wily De Wet, by a sudden inspiration, 



56 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 

breaking through all entanglements, and securing a great tactical 
triumph. It is this very uncertainty of the game, its latent possi- 
bilities, that makes it so entrancing, and that, in fact, has made it 
historical. It has practically no limitation — (hear, hear) — and I 
think we may say it has no defects save such as the players impart 
to it-. When it was that it first occupied the attention of man it is 
impossible to say. Its beginning belongs to the mists of antiquity. 
It is one of the choice things brought down to us by Father Time 
himself. All we can say of it with certainty is that we can trace 
it back to the Middle Ages, and from the Middle Ages to the Romans, 
and from the Romans to the Greeks, and from the Greeks to the 
Egyptians ; and, taking it thus far, it is not unreasonable to con- 
jecture that it may have had its origin in the cradle of the race. 
Probably it was played in some form by primitive man ; if so, 
civilised man owes that remote progenitor of his a debt of gratitude 
for the introduction of a pastime so simple in itself and yet so in- 
exhaustible in its movements. (Applause.) 

But I must remember that draughts has been called the " silent 
game," and that talk in such a connection seems out of place. I 
will only add a word or two on behalf of the Association under 
whose auspices we are met together. May I venture to express the 
hope that as now, for the first time, the Association has come to a 
locality where draughts-playing within recent years has progressed 
by leaps and bounds, the visitation will not only benefit the game 
in this particular district, but that the Association itself will be greatly 
strengthened as the outcome of this Tournament, and strengthened 
to such good purpose that instead of this competition being biennial 
it will become an annual event ? (Applause.) 

Leeds is honoured on this occasion by the fact that, for the first 
time, the ultimate winner will be able, so long as he can justify 
a claim to it, to point to a symbol of his skiU. I am sure that I am 
speaking in the best interests of the game when I say that the 
Tournament about to be begun will not be the success it ought to 
be if the cup that is to be strenuously fought for and won is not fought 
for and won from year to year. (Applause.) 

And thus, gentlemen, having in words, if not in deed, made the 
first move on the board of your play, I hereby declare the English 
Draughts Tournament of 1902 duly opened. May the attendance 
be good throughout ; may the play be fruitful of surprises and 
interesting and instructive in its developments ; and may the 
Tournament have only pleasant memories for all taking part in it. 
(Loud applause.)

attack. 

b— If 6-10, White replies 31-27 ; then follows 1-6, 21-17, 14-21,

C — From this stage Black forces a ver}-" pretty draw. There 
appears to be a rather strong attack for each player in turn, but a 
little examination of the position w^ill convince the student that, in 
either case, the advantage is more apparent than real.

a — Barker's World's Checker-Book was the first of the standard 
works in which this line of play was treated. The late '' Herd 
Laddie " had a decided antipathy to this variation, and many of the 
later experts follow his lead in that respect. Gardner, however, 
has adopted it with success against various opponents, notably against 
the " Herd Laddie " himself, in the International Match, 1894. 

b — ^This move was first introduced by Wyllie to correct or improve 
Barker's work, in which 27-23 is given, followed by 11-15, 32-28, 
15-24, 28-19, 8-11, 22-18, 9-13, 18-9, 5-14, 29-25, 4-8, 25-22, 8-12, etc.

lines to draw.

a — In playing 17-13 at his previous move, White would lead his 
opponent to infer that he intended to adopt the natural game and 
'' cut " 22-18 here ; he appears, however, to have suddenly decided 
otherwise and takes the " side " game, which, in our opinion, allows 
the first plaj^er to lead the attack. ^ 

b— 9-14 is more usual, followed by 24-19, 15-24, 28-19, then 8-11, 
or 8-12 gives Black a strong game. 

C— If 15-19, then 22-18, 19-26, 30-23, 16-19, 23-16, 12-19, followed 
by 18-15, etc., draws. 

d— If 2-7, White draws neatlv bv 9-5, 7-10, 13-9, 24-27, 9-6, 27-31, 
6-2, 31-26, *18-14, 10-17, 2-7, etc."^ 

e — Black here missed an opportunitv of finishing the game neatlv 
and quickly, thus :— 2-6, 19-15, 11-16, 15-11, 27-31, 11-7, 31-26, 7-2, 
26-22, etc. Black wins. — F. Dunne. 

f— 14-9 appears to draw here, by 26-22, 15-10, 22-18, 9-6, etc. 

g — There appears to be no forced win for Black after this move, 
which placed the king on 3 practicalh^ hors de combat, evidently an 
oversight on the part of Mr. Atwell. 

(1) 

This (25-22) seems to be the losing move ; the variation following 
shows the draw : —

h— If 17-22, then 14-10, 7-14, 21-17, 14-21, 30-26, etc., wins for 
White. 

(2) 
Here Black fails to grasp the idea, and takes a wrong course ; the 
following variation appears to force the win. The diagram shows the 
situation, which is a very interesting stud}^ and caused considerable

a — The more usual course here is to play 28-24, followed by 8-12, 
25-21, 16-20, 31-27, etc.; Atwell, however, being a game do\\Ti in a 
short contest of six games, was compelled to adopt unusual lines, or in 
other words, to force the play into new ground in the hope of scoring. 

b — At this point 16-19 seem.s to lead to a fairly good game for 
Black. WTiite's onh' reply appears to be 27-24, then 11-16, 24-15. 
7-10. etc., draws. 

C — This mo\'e should have lost \\'hite the game. The following, 
variation wiU draw:— 28-24, 16-19. 24-15. 7-10, 14-7. 3-19. 23-16, 
12-19, 18-14, 9-18. 26-23, 19-26, 31-15, 6-10, etc. DrawTi. 

d — The position here is identical with a "Dyke" ending given 
as a Black win in the second edition of Drummond's Scottish 
Draughts Player. The student should take particular notice of the 
'' trap " here presented, as similar situations are of frequent 
occurrence in actual play. Should ^^'hite plav 27-23. then Black 
wins by 20-24. followed by 23-16. 24-27, 31-24. 7-10, 14-7, 2-27. 

C — White here misses the win. Drummond plays 2-7, 21-17. 
9-13. 17-14, 6-9. 22-18. 13-17, 15-10, 7-11. 10-6, 11-15, 18-11, 9-18.

a — Again Atwell ventures upon new ground, but the path does 
not, we think, lead to good results ; if White replies with 22-17 
(instead of 30-26), then 9-13, 18-9, 5-14, 27-24, 13-22, 25-9, 6-13, 24-20, 
and White appears to have the better game ; while if, in making 
the exchange, Black should take the piece by 13-22, etc., the second 
player has all the choice of attack. 

b — This forces the play back into an ancient " book " line, after 
which neither party may claim to have had any advantage.

a — This is now identical with a familiar variation of the " Ayr- 
shire Lassie " opening, formed as follows : — 11-15, 24-20, 8-11, 28-24, 
3-8, 23-19, 9-14, 22-17, 6-9, 17-13, 1-6, etc. 

b— The " Authors " give 26-23 here, followed by 14-18, 23-14, 
9-18, 21-17, 11-16, etc. Drawn. 

C — By this move Black appears to have transferred to his oppon- 
ent any advantage he himself may have possessed. We prefer the 
following variation :~18-23, 27-18, 12-16, 20-11, 8-22, 24-19, 4-8, 
19-15, 5-9, 31-27, 2-7, 27-23, 22-26, 23-18, 7-10, etc. Drawn.

d — This and the succeeding move performed the service that 
White desired, by enabling him to enhance the value of the piece 
on 14 by " crowning." Had Black retired again 25-29, then, in 
reply to the forced move, 1-6, he could either have continued the 
" see-saw," or have sacrificed the piece by 21-25, and in either case 
the draw was assured.

to form his own attack. See also Jordan v. Freedman, Game 
No. 3, Note b.

At this stage it was Morrall's turn to play. Instead of taking the 
piece immediately, he proceeded to enter the preceding moves on his 
scoring-sheet, and his opponent inadvertently completed the " take " 
by playing 32-23, Morrall at once claimed the game, in accordance 
with the Standard Laws. On appeal to the Tourney Committee, 
the claim was allowed. 

a — Stronger than 11-16, which is sometimes played at this point ;

a — ^This appears to be rather

with Mr. 


[ynd. First introduced 


by R. D. 


, Yates 


against Wyllie, 


it leads, 



as might be expected from its origin, to some pretty combinations, 
but does not hold out so many v/inning chances as the older style 
of play, by 17-14, etc. 

b — 6-10 was played by Yates, resulting in a draw ; and it leaves 

White little choice of varying. 

C — 2-6 appears to draw, and corrects the game as played, which 
White should have won ; there may be a critical draw at a later 
stage than this, but, if so, it is hard to find : —

a — 23-18 is the correct reply to this defence of the " Edinburgh " ; 
the move in the text seems to give away the attack. 

b— White would have fared better here by 24-20, 15-24, 28-19, 
9-14, 22-18, etc. 

C — Immediately fatal. White might have played 22-17, 13-22. 
25-9, 5-14, 29-25, 6-9, 25-22, 3-8, 24-20, 15-24, etc., with good

W. wins 
a — Some of the authorities give 25-21 here, followed by 11-15, 
21-14, 10-17, 24-19, 15-24, 28-19,8-11, 22-18, 11-16, running the game 
into a well-known variation of the " Double Corner " opening. 
According to the principles laid down by the earliest masters, viz. 
taking possession of the centre of the board, the move in the text 
is the sounder policy ; in fact, we are unable to discover how Black 
can draw against it. If the critics can do no better, then 22-18 will 
stand as a correction of Kear's Encyclopcedia and other works. We 
would advise the student who may have to play this opening to 
adopt 9-14 at the third move of the game, and he may then take the 
^' Dyke " exchange, by 16-19, leading to quite an equal game. 

b — Some interesting and exceedingly critical play arises from 
12-16 at this point, introduced by J. Maize, of Pittsburg, Pa., U.S.A. 
The following variation shows Black's strongest defence.

a — This reply is preferable to the one adopted in the previous 
game, and was first played, we believe, in the Ferrie-Wyllie Match, 
since which it has been frequently seen in important contests. 

b — The usual continuation is 27-24. See Game No. 27. 

C — ^^^^hite had " nursed " the three pieces nicely down this 
side of the board, and Jordan perceived the danger of further dela}', 
and decided to at once " force the pace " for a draw, which he 
accomplished in a most decisive manner.

a — The " Authors " give 22-18 and 24-19 as variations favourable 
for White ; 21-17 was at one time rather favoured by ex-Champion 
Gardner, and followed by 9-14, forcing 25-21, it runs into one of the 
standard lines, as in the next game. C. F. Barker, in his match with 
J. Smith, in reply to 21-17, however, " cut " 16-19, 24-15, 10-19, 
23-16, 12-19, and eventually won, as follows :— 17-14, 9-18, 22-15, 
11-18, 26-22, 7-11, 22-15, 11-18, 20-16, 8-12, 16-11, 19-24, 27-20, 
6-10, 30-26, 18-22, etc., but instead of White's last move, either 
31-26 or 25-22 would have given him an equal game. 

b — 9-14 is preferable at this stage. 

C_White might have played 22-18, 14-23, 27-18 here ; then if 
6-10, 21-17, and Black would have had some difficulty in finding 
a draw. Following the text of the game leaves the chances of victory 
pretty evenly balanced.

a — 8-11 is more usually pla^^ed, although it leads to weak lines 
for Black. 

b — This is a favourite variation with several well-known analysts, 
but in our opinion it is decidedly inferior to the 23-18 exchange, as 
adopted by Cain in Game No. 56. 

C— If 6-9, *23-19, 15-24, 28-19, 7-11, *17-13, and J. Lees has

a — The Bradford champion here breaks new ground. This 
position, however, is frequently formed from the "Denny" — 10-14, 
24-20, 6-10. If White should reply with 22-18, then the " cut," 
11-15, 18-11, 8-15, makes a good, even game. 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES.

b— If 28-24, 8-11, 23-19, 3-8, we have a familiar variation of 
the " Ayrshire Lassie " opening. 

C— If 22-18. then 12-16, 20-11, 8-22, 26-17, 10-15 gives Black a 
powerful attack, to which we have not found a satisfactory defence.

a — At this point 2-7 is the correct play, bringing the game into a 
familiar variation of the " Whilter." The move in the text is very 
weak, if not an absolute loss, and White takes immediate advantage 
of it. 

b — 15-18 would have proved a stronger defence, but it is question- 
able if Black can draw.

a — 24-19 is the beaten path. The text-move appears to lead to 
a weak mid-game, yet we fail to find a point where Black can obtain 
any appreciable advantage. 

b— If 23-26, 30-23, 3-7, then 22-18 gives White a position quite 
equal to Black's.

a — ^The game at this point is almost identical with a variation of 
Anderson's " Maid of the Mill," the only difference being that in the 
latter the piece is on 3 instead of 4, which enables Black to take a 
" short cut " to victory, by *18-22, 26-17, 9-13, 25-22, 5-9, 29-25, 3-8, 
etc. B. wins — J. Tonar. With the piece on 4, however, this line 
won't answer ; for instance, 18-22, 26-17, 9-13, 23-18, 15-22, 25-9, 
5-14, 29-25, 13-29, 19-16, etc., and White has the better game. 

b— 26-22 brings the game into the " Maid of the Mill," followed bv 
9-13, 21-17 (2), 14-30, 23-14, 10-26, 19-3, 26-31, etc. B. wins- 
Anderson. 

C— Taking the " two for one " by 14-18, 23-14, 9-25, admits of a 
draw by 21-17 ; the text-move clinches Black's hold, and leaves 
White without a chance of escape. 

d — The game from this point to the end offers a fine lesson in the 
principles of end-play, well worth the careful attention of the student. 
The diagram shows the situation, with the game as continued by the

a — The strongest move at this point, though 16-19 and 11-15 
both lead to sound games, while 8-12 runs into the " Bristol-Cross " 
opening, formed by 11-16, 23-18, 8-11. 

b — In the Wyllie-Ferrie match the former played 9-14 here, and 
in our opinion it is preferable to the move in the text. At this 
point beware of playing 8-12, which loses by Canaleja's old " shot," 
viz. 19-15, 10-19, 18-14, 9-18, 22-8, 4-11, 27-24, etc. W. wins. 

C — Jordan here varies from published play ; 26-23 is usuallv 
played, followed by 4-8, 22-18, 5-9, 25-22, 8-11, 30-26, 1-5, 29-25, 
0-13, etc., leading to an equal game. 

d — At this stage 8-11 appears preferable to the move in the text, 
for if 19-16, then 11-15, 16-12, 5-9, 17-13, 15-19, and Black is out 
of danger. 

e — A fatal error ; either 11-15 or 5-9 would have drawn. 

f — The winning coup ; a j^retty sacrifice, which Black had evi- 
dentlv unforeseen.

a — The game at this point is identical with the fifth game in the 
Jordan-Barker match, from the '* Kelso " opening. The former here 
played 27-23, and in reply Barker took the " break " by 13-17, and 
played with a man down for a while, the game being eventually 
drawn ; the usual reply to 27-23 is now 7-10, 14-7, 3-10, followed 
by 22-17, 13-22, 26-17, 19-26, 30-23, 15-22, 24-19, leading to a safe 
draw. The move in the text (21-17) was played by W. Gardner 
against J. Hynd in the English Tourney, 1900, though the order 
of the preceding moves varies from that game. 

b — This varies from the Hynd-Gardner game, in which the latter 
played 23-18, resulting in a draw ; but, as pointed out in Note (c) to 
the game in the Record of the English Championship Tourney, 1900, 
Black should have won. The present innovation fares no better, 
and the game appears to be hopeless for White after 21-17 at (a).

a — This is the strongest move at this stage, though 32-28, 15-24, 
28-19, leads to an even game ; Wyllie played 22-18 against Ferrie, 
and lost. 

b — As stated in note to game No. 29, this move was played with 
success by Ferrie against Wyllie in their match for the world's 
championship, and that was the first important contest in which it 
figured. It was afterwards played in the Ferrie- Jordan match game 
No. 29 ; and in a note to the game the credit of its origin is given 
to Mr. G. Crookston. 

C — At this point 23-27, 19-10, 2-6, etc., also draws, but it is not 
so strong for Black as the text ; while 11-16, 19-10, 4-8, etc., as 
played by Wyllie against Ferrie, appears to lose.

No. 303, by F. Dunne. This problem originated from the "Ayrshire

dent about 1879. For the play see Robertson's Guide, var. 80.

e — Ferrie won with this move against G. Buchanan in the final 
round of the Scottish Championship Tourney, 1903. It was also 
adopted by Benstead, of Lowestoft, in a correspondence game with 
Gardner, prior to that event. 

f — Benstead played 9-13 here, and Gardner " cut " 18-14 in 
reply, and got the better game, his opponent escaping with a narrow 
draw. Gardner, however, is of opinion that careful analysis will 
demonstrate a White win on that line. 

g — This improves the Ferrie-Buchanan game. The latter 
played 32-28, to which Ferrie replied with the " slip," 11-16, 20-11, 
16-20, and eventually won, after a protracted end-game. 

h— At this point 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 24-20, etc., forces the play 
pointed out in note (d) . 

i— If 31-27, 24-20, 27-24, 19-15, 24-19, 14-10, etc., drawn.

a — The game has now run into the " Whilter " opening. Anderson 

gives 3-7 here. The move in the text is frequently played, but 

VV'hite almost invariably replies with 22-17, running the game into 

the old " book " lines, as in the next game. 

b — At this stage 8-11 would make a stronger game ; then if 22-17, 
15-18, 19-15, 10-26, 31-8, 4-11, 17-10, 6-15, and Black has the better 
game. 

C — From this stage onwards White forces the draw in a decisive 
manner, and Black, being " a game up," is, of course, like, Barkis, 
" wiUing."

a — ^This is now generally considered Black's strongest move at 
this point. Singular to remark, the earlier masters failed to perceive 
the force of it, and not a solitary example is given by any of them ; 
even Anderson neglects it, and only gives play on 4-8 and 11-16. 
Kirkwood (" Denny " of the Draughts Board) is credited by Bowen 
with the first example given in Bowen's Cross. It was also played 
by Leaver against Moss in their match, 1869 ; and Wyllie played 
it with great success, probably before Kirkwood. 

b — Undoubtedly White's strongest play, though 22-17 is sound. 

C — This is Wyllie's line, as played by him against many noted 
players. 

d — ^This varies from a Wyllie-Bryden game, where 6-10, 27-24, 
20-27, 31-24, 2-7, 24-20, 1-5, 22-17, etc., was played, resulting in a 
draw. 

e — 6-10 would have drawn, same as note (d). 7-11 is also sound. 

f — ^White takes immediate advantage, and Black's game is now 
hopeless. 

g— The " cut " 14-18, 23-14, 9-18 is no better ; White replies 
with 12-8, and wins easity.

a — This is away from the " book " routine, a line of play first

merit of leading to original play.

b — 1-6, 22-17, 14-18, etc., leads to a sound game. 

C_15_19 would have lost by 31-27, 10-14, 21-23, etc. W. wins. 

d — To the best of our recollection the game to this stage was first 
played in a Barker-Freeman match, resulting in a draw. Gardner, 
in collaboration with the late J. Bell, analysed the 27-18 " take," 
and published the result as a White win. F. Tescheleit, howevei-, 
corrected this, showing a draw. — See Lees' Guide for the play. 

e — The " slip " 6-10, 13-6, 10-15 has, we believe, been demon- 
strated to lose by 25-22, etc. W. wins. 

f — A recent discovery by Mr. A. Cain seems to establish a 
White win at this point, avoiding the interesting "stroke" illus- 
trated below, as follows :— 25-22, 12-16, 21-17, 10-15, 27-23, 15-19, 
17-14, 19 26, 30-23, 8-12. 28-24, 11-15, 20-11, 12-16, 14-10, 16-20, 
10-7, 20-27, 11-8, 27-31, 18-11, 31-26, 23-19, 26-17, 7-2, and White 
eventually wins. 

g_The correct play is 10-15 first, forcing 25-22, then 12-16, 
followed by 21-17, 8-12, 27-23, 15-19, 17-14. and Black draws by the 
pretty " stroke " illustrated on the accompanying diagram. Gardner 
had worked out the idea for the draw mentally from note (c), and 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES.

then, at the critical stage, overlooked the fatal effects of playing 
one move before the other. The winning sacrifice and the correct 
play for the draw are worthy of special notice by the student.

C — The strength of this move for purposes of attack is question-

probabilities for a player who is a game behind. 

d — This almost forces the succeeding play, during which neither 
party is afforded any great chance of brilliancy.

a — 11-15 and 11-16 are equally good. 

b — Undoubted^ weak ; being two games " down," however, | 
Black is compelled to adopt " forcing " tactics, as his case is desperate. 

C — ^This gives away White's advantage, and leaves his opponent] 
with the attack slightly in his favour ; 25-22 is sounder play ; then 
if 11-15, 19-16, leaving Black an exceedingly difficult game.

d— 22-18, 15-22, 19-16, 12-19, 24-8, 4-11, 17-13, is a sound and 
interesting variation. 

e — At this point it was thought by the spectators that White had 
an overwhelming attack. Many of the critics contended that 22-18 
would force a win. Examination fails to demonstrate the fact ; for 
instance :— 22-18, 15-22, 25-18, 14-17, 21-14, 10-17, then White 
appears to have nothing better than 26-22, 17-26, 31-22, followed 
by 7-10, 22-17, 3-7, 29-25, 8-11, and the draw is assured. After 
22-18, 15-22 if White captures the piece by 26-17, either 8-11 or 7-11 
look drawable replies. 

f — From this stage it became more and more apparent that 
White's attack was but a " Will-o'-the-wisp." Mr. Hynd having 
cleared the early shoals, sailed calmly into the next round. 

g — Forcing a pretty termination. On this move being made, the 
players, to the astonishment of some of the onlookers, left the table. 
The continuation is :— 18-27, 24-19, 16-23, 31-24, 20-27, 14-9, 5-14, 
10-19. Drawn.

a — This reply to 21-17, first introduced, we believe, by the late 
J. Bell, of Staincliffe, is undoubtedly the strongest at Black's com- 
mand ; it takes all the sting out of the 21-17 attack, and the play 
from this stage is of a plain, straightforward description, allowing 
neither party much scope for originality or brilliancy. If 4-8 is 
played at this point, White replies with 17-13, and obtains a strong 
attack.

*The 


only moves to 


draw. 







a — 9-13 is a good move at this point ; but the " cut " 11-15, etc., 
is the favourite line of defence. 6-10 is also a sound move— see 
page 129, Game No. 49. 

b — This position is more frequently brought up from the 21-17 
line of the " Kelso," as follows :— 10-15, 21-17, 11-16, 17-13, 16-20, 
22-18, 15-22, 25-18, 8-11, 29-25, 9-14, 18-9, 5-14. 

C — At this point 6-10 leads to a weak game for Black if White 
replies 13-9, as played by Jordan against Stewart in their match for 
the World's Championship. 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 87 

d — Original, we believe, with G. Buchanan — vide notes to " Sixth 
Scottish Tourney Games." 31-26 at this point is also sound ; but 
22-17 is a loss for White, by 7-11, 30-25, 4-8, 25-22, 11-15, etc B. 
wins. 

e — Varies from Buchanan's play, where 22-18 is given, resulting 
in a draw. 

f— 8-11 forces the " cut " 18-15, 11-18, 23-7, 2-11, and leads to a 
straight draw ; the move in the text results in a critical ending for 
Black. The play from this point is worth particular attention 
by the student. 

g — He must " crown " this " man " on 30 or 31 ; if he " crowns " 
on 29, White gains the piece on 6 and wins.

Drawn 



a — A favourite line with Wyllie ; 3-8 is now more in vogue, but 
it is questionable if it is any stronger. 

b — ^This varies from Wyllie's play, where 6-10 is given, leading 
to the highly-critical ending, fought out to a draw, in the great 
''^Switcher " match between Wyllie and Martins in 1880. 

At this stage 6-9 is also a strong attacking move, which has been 
played with success in recent Scottish Championship Tourneys ; 
but the move in the text (4-8) seems to give away Black's attack by 
allowing 23-18, after which, if anything. White has the advantage. 

C — ^This varies from a Blakeley-Freeman game in the previous 
English Championship Tourney, where 22-25 was played, which 
also draws.

a — ^The old orthodox " Dundee " opening, in which White 
-undoubtedly has the stronger side throughout. 

b — Introduced by W. Gardner in his practice-match with the 
late J. Smith. This move was also adopted by Bryden against 
Ferrie, in their match for the Scottish Championship, and afterwards 
popularised in the Scottish Tourneys. 24-19 is the old line, and 26-22 
is also a strong attacking move at this point. 

C — Decidedly preferable to 32-28, as played in the twentieth game. 

d — Varies from a Wyllie-Ferrie match-game, where the former 
played 4-8, resulting in a draw. The move in the text was played 
by Jordan against Freeman in the previous English Tourney, result- 
ing in a draw ; but unless Black's play in the present game can be 
improved upon — and we fail to find anything stronger — it must be 
•set down as the loser. The diagram shows the situation : —

f- — Jordan here remarked " drawn ! " " All right," was Cain's 
reply, and the players left the table. A number of the onlookers 
were afterwards much exercised to discover the play to draw. The 
position is a win for Black. The last stage for a draw appears to 
be at Note (e).

a — This move, although it has been adopted in several important 
matches, is not to be commended, and the present game may be 
taken as a fair criterion of its weakness ; 22-18 is preferable, forming 
a combination similar to the " Bristol " opening, and giving White 
a sounder game. 

b — Black retains his hold on his opponent's '* double comer," 
now considerably weakened. This was first played by Ferrie against 
Jordan, in their match for the World's Championship, and resulted 
in a win for Black. 

C — It is difficult to find a satisfactory defence at this stage ; 
22-18 is certainly stronger than the move in the text, which still 
further weakens White's "double corner"; but 21-17 has been 
adopted, followed by 11-15, 32-27, 6-10, 17-14, 9-18, 26-23, 19-26, 
30-7, 3-10, 20-16, leading to a draw. 

d — This move was introduced by J . Lees to draw and correct the 
Ferrie-Jordan game.^ — See Game No. 27, Jordan v. Freedman, 
note (d). 

e — Varying from Lees' play, who continues : — 31-27, 12-19, 27-23, 
4-8, 23-16, 8-12, 26-23, etc., drawn. The ending is, however, a very 
critical one for White, and the move in the text was probably adopted 
with a view to avoid it. 

f — It is just possible White may have a critical draw at this point, 
but, if so, we have not been able to discover it. Take, for example, 
the following variation (the diagram illustrates the situation) : —

a — The game is now identical with the " Ayrshire Lassie " 
opening, 3-8 line. 

b — ^This varies from a Wyl lie- Yates match-game, in which the 
latter played 5-14 ; the move in the text, even if no stronger, has the 
merit of originality, and in this instance should have scored a win. 

C — The Wyllie- Yates game was continued from 5-14 at (b) b}^ 
exactly the same plaj^ to this point. The game then went on — 6-9, 
19-16, 2-7, 28-24, 9-13, 24-20, 14-17, 21-14, 10-17, 16-11, etc. Dra\vn. 

d — Here 2-7 would have forced the continuation shown in the 
note above ; but the piece on 13 permitted a stronger disposition 
of Black's forces, and White failed to make the correct reply, his 
next move (16-11) leading to a long, defensive ending that could 
have been avoided, as shown in variation (1). 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 93- 

e — If 11-8 is played, it is doubtful if Black can force a win from 
this position. The move in the text appeared to be totally un- 
expected by Mr.'Hynd, and his next few moves were made without 
that cool deliberation so characteristic of the player, or he would 
not have failed to see that at " f" 18-15, followed by 23-32, 15-19, 
would have placed the win beyond doubt.

a — The game now assumes the familiar formation of the " WiU- 
o'-the-wisp " (7-11 line), usually formed thus :— 11-15, 23-19, 9-13, 
22-18, 15-22, 25-18, 7-11. 

b — At this point 19-15 is the usual play. Lees goes so far as to 
say that anything else gives Black the advantage ; but the move in 
the text is given as a sound draw in Gardner and Leggett's analysis,, 
and also in Dr. Schaefer's more recent compilation of play on the 
7-11 line of the " wisp." 

C — This varies from the books (where 5-9 is given), and leads to 
an interesting and original development. We have seen this move 
played before, though not in a contest of this importance. 

d — 3-8, followed by 27-23, 5-9, would run into book play. 

e — White's game looks very weak at this stage, but it is more 
apparent than real. 

f— 5-9 brings the game into book, followed by 24-20, 15-24, 28-19, 
9-14, 18-9, 1-5, 31-27, etc. Drawn— Gardner-Leggett. 

g — The position here is a highly-critical one for White, whose 
choice of play is very limited ; on the other hand, Black has two 
strong alternatives, either of which maintain the attack — viz. 10-14 
or 10-15. 

h — At this stage 13-17 looks promising for Black, but continue 
25-22, 17-26, 31-22, 14^18, 22-17, 18-22, 17-13, 23-27, 28-24, and the 
draw is evident.

a — Now identical with a variation of the '' Alma," a favourite 
opening originated by J. Drummond, author of the Scottish Draughts 
Player, whose works give some brilliant play upon it. The late 
J. P. Reed, the famous American expert, had also a predilection for 
this opening, and published a fine work devoted exclusively to it. 

b— This varies from Drummond's play, where 8-11 is given, also 
resulting in a draw. The text-move is not to be found in Reed's 
Alma, though the variation seems familiar, and may have been 
previously published.

a — -21-17 has hitherto had the preference ; indeed, it is the 
invariable move at this point in published match-games. The move 
in the text is, however, sound, and may probably receive more 
attention in future contests. 

b— This move is stronger than appears at first sight ; if anything 
else is played White gets slightly the better game. 

C— White has nothing stronger at this point ; 30-26, followed by 
11-16, 32-28, is equally sound ; but 22-17 loses by 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, etc. 

d — 22-18 might safely be played here, for if Black takes the " two 
for one " by 10-15, etc.. White regains the piece at once by 30-26 with 
a sound game ; or if Black plays 2-7, instead of taking the " two 
for one," then 30-25 gives White a good game.

e — White now appears to have nothing better ; the exchange by 
32-28, 15-24, 28-19, followed by 10-15, 19-10, 6-15, leads to a very 
weak ending, if not an absolute loss for White. 

f — ^The position at this stage is more critical for White than 
appears on the surface, and we are inclined to look upon this as the 
losing move ; at any rate, we have not been able to discover a satis- 
factory draw after it. The following variation appears to draw : —

THE SEVENTH ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP 

TOURNEY. 



The seventh Championship Tourney — the fourth Biennial 
Tourney of the EngHsh Draughts Association — took place at Man- 
chester during Easter Week, 1904. 

The event was notable in having a record entrance, and as the 
most successful Tourney that has been held under the auspices of 
the E.D.A. 

The entries numbered eighteen, viz.: — A. Hynd, J. Hynd, junr., 
J. A. Milne, W. Blakeley, W. T. Jones, J. Langford, T. Worthington, 
and R. D. Parry, of Manchester ; J. Alexander and R. T. Ward, 
Birmingham ; F. Dunne and J. Roberts, Warrington ; A. Jordan, 
London; H. Morrall, Liverpool; T. Goldsboro, Bradford; W. J. 
Wray, Halifax ; W. H. Waller, Blackburn ; and T. Dean, Padiham. 

The Playing Committee was constituted as follows : — Messrs. J. 
Weir, C. Barber, R. A. Crawshaw, J. Chadderton, W. Kilgour, W. 
McClymont, W. R. Pepworth, T. Blakeley, W. Vallance, W. J. Wray, 
and A. Jordan. 

The proceedings were formally opened with a very effective speech 
by Mr. A. Bryson, of the Draughts World, supported by J. TowTisend, 
President of the E.D.A. (in the chair) ; J. K. Lyons, Liverpool 
Weekly Mercury ; W. Vallance, Hon. Sec. of the E.D.A.; A. Hynd, 
Manchester Weekly Times ; W. J . Wray, Sheffield Weekly Independent ; 
F. Dunne, Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement ; E. Roberts, London ; 
and the members of the Playing Committee. 

Play was concluded early on the eighth day of the Tourney,, 
the winner being Herbert Morrall, of Liverpool. 

The prizes were presented the same evening at a well-attended 
Tea and Social Meeting. Mr. J. Townsend presided, and delivered 
a felicitous address. He congratulated the Champion on having 
gone through the contest without the loss of a single game ; and in 
handing over the prizes he had a word of praise for each of the 
respective recipients. 

First prize (£20) — Mr. H. Morrall, Liverpool. The winner also 
received a handsome silver medallion, presented by Mr. G. A. 
Gelsthorp, and held the " Gelsthorp " Cup, the E.D.A. Champion- 
ship Trophy, for two years. 

Second prize (£10) — ^W. Blakeley, Manchester. 
Third prize (£6) — R. T. Ward, Birmingham. 
Fourth prize (£4) — R. D. Parry, Manchester. 

Mr. F. H. Booth, London, moved a vote of thanks to the Chair- 
man, and in the course of an effective address congratulated the 
management generally upon the success of the Tourney, which 

H

rejfiected the highest credit upon the Manchester players who had 
taken the matter in hand. 

The motion was seconded by Mr. J. K. Lyons, Liverpool, and 
carried with applause. 

After a brief response from Messrs. Townsend and W. Vallance, 
the proceedings closed.

a — Blakeley here introduces something new ; the usual play is 
10-15. See Jordan-Freedman, Game No. 22. 

b — This move, so powerful in reply to 10-15, does not answer so 
well against 11-15 ; 25-22 will be found much stronger. 

G — Black now assumes the offensive, and has the better game 
right through. The ending is very critical for White, and will 
well repay examination.

a — Identical with the tenth game in the great match. Barker v.

resulting in a draw. The move in the text is recommended in a note 
to the game as superior, though the annotators remark that " to 
pronounce it an absolute win would not be prudent." 

b — Varies frorn the play in the note to the Barker-Smith game, the 
continuation there given being 11-16, 19-15, 3-8, 31-26, etc. W. wins. 

C — 31-26 appears to force a win for White. If Black replies 3-8,

a — This move has been noted as strong since C. F. Barker played 
it with success in matches with J. P. Reed and C. H. Freeman. 

b — 5-9 is a sound alternative ; but beware of 15-19, which loses

etc. Drawn — A. Hynd v. E. L. Benson. The last move corrects the 
play for a Black win given in Note (d), Game No. 4, Jordan v. Stewart 
Match Games. 

d — Up to this point the game is a repeat of the Jordan-Stewart 
match-game alluded to in the preceding note. Stewart played 
22-18, and the annotators point out the move in the text as " obvious- 
ly preferable." However, it makes very little difference which is 
pla^^ed, as the draw is evident in either case.

e — There appears to be a diversity of opinion among experts as ta 
the merits of this move. In the English Tourney Games, 1900, it is- 
condemned as a loss for Black. In the Jordan v. Stewart Match Games 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 107 

it is stated that Ferrie considers it a win for Black ; but the 
annotators express their preference for 8-11. In my opinion the 
move is quite sound, and leads to a variety of critical combinations. 

f— If 19-24, White wins by 16-11, etc., and if 19-23, then 15-11, 
etc., wins.

a — A new attack, varying from the Barker-Jordan game, and, 
probabl}^ was all the more dangerous because unexpected, the 
attention of the experts having hitherto been directed to finding a 
safe defence against Barker's variation.

a — 21-17 is the favourite move here. 

b — White gets a weak game as the result of this move ; 17-13 
is sound for a draw. 

' c — Suicidal ! Evidently a miscalculation ; 17-21 sets up a 
powerful attack to which it is difficult to find a safe defence. 26-23 
is the most likely reply, then follows :— 1-5, 32-28, 6-9, 15-10, 11-15, 
28-24, 8-11, 10-6, 18-22, 19-10, 9-18, and Black has a winning advan- 
tage. While if White replies to 17-21 with 32-28, Black wins by the 
same " stroke " that he took with such disastrous results earlier on.

a — Not to be commended ; 17-14 is the move here, leading to a 
familiar line of the " Bristol," brought up thus :— 11-16, 24-20, 16-19, 
23-16, 12-19, 22-18, 10-14, 18-15, 14-18, 21-17, 9-13, 17-14. But 
White being " a game down " was desirous of avoiding " beaten 
paths." 

b — 24-20 is, perhaps, stronger ; then, if 5-9, the " two for one " 
by 27-23 might draw. 

C— The " three for two " by 21-17, etc., is evidently bad ; 29-25 
looks more promising. 

d— A bold attack ! If White replies 31-27, then follows :— 7-11, 
27-18, 11-16, 20-11, 6-10, 13-6, 2-9, 15-6, 8-31, 6-2, 9-13, 29-25, 4-8, 
and Black has much the better game, if not an absolute win. 

e— 17-14, 10-17, 21-14, 15-18, 27-24, 18-23, 24-1.9, 25-30, 28-24, 
30-26, 32-28, 23-27, 14-10, etc. Drawn. 

f— Fatal ; 11-7, g-2-11, 19-16, 15-19, 16-7, 19-28, 7-2, etc. 'Drawn. 

g — If 23-16, 20-11, we have a very peculiar position to occur in 
play, but I cannot find a win for Black.

a — ^Black's strongest play at this point is 9-14, running into a 
variation of the " Bristol." The text-move is weak, and brings the 
game into the " Edinburgh." 

b — 6-10 is the usual move here. The text leads to complications, 
but examination shows it to be a loss. 

C — ^The most plausible looking move ; but White has two stronger 
alternatives, viz. 19-16 and 32-27. The latter is the most effective, 
and places Black hors de combat in a few moves, thus : — 32-27, 9-14,

a — 30-25 is a strong move here. 
Jordan, English Tourney, 1902. 

b — Varies from a game between G. Buchanan and W. K. Campbell, 
given in the Notes to the Sixth Scottish Tourney, where 19-15, 7-10, 
*13-9, etc., is the continuation, resulting in a draw. 

C — Now identical with a famous Freeman-Barker match-game. 

d— Barker played 1-5 here, then followed 18-15, 7-10, 23-18, 
16-23, 26-19, 5-9 ; and Freeman won by the now historical " stroke," 
viz. 27-23, 20-27, 18-14, 9-18, 23-7, 2-18, 32-14, 8-11, 30-26, and 
White gains the piece on 6, and wins. Instead of 5-9 forming the 
" stroke " position, 2-7, 18-14, 17-22, 13-9, etc., draws.— J. Hill. 

e — Varies from a game between J. Lees and J. Murray, where

a — This position is more frequently brought up from the 23-18 
line thus :— 10-15, 23-18, 12-16, 21-17, 16-20, 17-13, 8-12, 26-23, 7-10. 

b — I consider this is the weak spot in the game ; 9-14 leads to a 
sound draw. See Game No. 57, Morrall v. Hynd, in which the same 
position is reached by a different order of moves. 

C — Wyllie played 3-7 against Freedman, in the Scottish Tournev, 
1899, and lost by 22-17, 8-11, 25-22, 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 22-18, 1-5, 
18-9, 5-14, 30-25, and White wins by the play pointed out in Jordan 
V. Freedman, Game No. 1, Note (d). 

d — This move was introduced by G. Buchanan, and improves 
Hill's Manual and the Jordan v. Stewart Match Games, where the 
continuation given is 31-26, 16-23, 26-19, 3-7, 11-8, 7-11, 27-24, etc. 
Drawn. 

e — In the Scottish Tourney, 1901, J. Gall v. G. Buchanan, the 
former took the " two for one " by 6-9, and White won. 

f — 19-24 makes a better defence, but I cannot find a satisfactory 
draw, and therefore consider the position is practically a loss for 
Black.

Alexander retired from the Tourney, leaving the game unfinished, 
which was awarded to Goldsboro. See variation (3). 

a — To find a safe defence for Black on this line of the " Edinburgh" 
is a problem that has long exercised the minds of the experts ; the 
opening allows White to take such a command of the centre of the 
board that Black is handicapped from the start, and but for the fact 
that in Tourney play both contestants have the strong side in turn, 
it is safe to say it would be discarded altogether, except when played 
by expert against amateur. 

b — In the notes in the Third Scottish Tourney this move is recom- 
mended as preferable to 5-9 ; if 18-15 is adopted iA reply, however, 
as in this game, I don't think it makes much difference whether 4-8 
or 5-9 is played at this point. 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES.

C — This inaugurates a dangerous attack, which was introduced 
with success by Henderson against Cain in the International Match at 
Glasgow, 1899. W. Campbell also played it against Halliwell in the 
same match, but varied from Henderson's play, the result being a 
draw. 

d — This varies from the Cain-Henderson game, which was 
continued as follows :— 28-24, 16-19, 24-20, 1-6, 25-22, 14-18, 32-28, 
18-25, 29-22, 3-7, 22-18, 7-11, 21-17, 13-22, 26-17, 19-23, 17-14, 2-7, 
14-10, 7-14, 18-2, 11-18, 28-24, and White gains the piece on 8, and 
wins. 

e — I have been unable to find a sound draw for Black after this 
move. 16-19 gives better results, so far as I can see, but the draw 
is so critical that, unless Black can safely vary at an earlier stage, 
the 10-15 line of defence may be considered practically untenable.

And, after 11-16, White resigned. 

a — Up to this point the game may be found in most of the Guides, 
and forms the " trunk " of the " Switcher " in Janvier's Anderson, 
the continuation being 6-10, 27-24, 11-15, 23-18, 3-8, 18-11, 7-23, 
14-7, 2-11, 17-14, 23-26, 30-23, 22-25, etc. Drawn— Wyllie. The 
move in the text is not given in any of the Guides, and should there- 
fore be viewed with suspicion as to its soundness, in such an old and 
well-analysed opening. 

b — The correct play here is 32-28 ; then if 6-10 (and Black has 
nothing better), 14-9, 5-14, 27-24, 11-15, 13-9, 22-25, 30-21, 14-17, 
and White has the better game.

a — Mr. Langford again strikes on new ground, but the move is 
evidently weak ; 17-14 is the correct play, from which White cannot 
with safety vary. 

b — Black has now a plain course marked out, and sails straight 
on to victory.

a — This move is generally considered inferior to 24-20, but for all 
that it gives White a powerful attack, even against Black's strongest 
defence. 

b — 11-15 is a sound alternative, originalty introduced, I believe, 
by C. F. Barker, and is, I think, stronger than the text -move. For 
example :— 11-15, 23-18, 5-9, 18-11, 8-15, 27-23, 9-14, 24-20, 4-8, 
31-27, 7-11, 20-16, 12-19, 23-7, 2-11, etc. Bmwn.— Fifth Scottish 
Tourney. 

C — Black has a bad game after this move ; 6-10 is the book 
continuation, as played in the next game. 

d — From bad to worse ! Black gets completely " boxed up " 
after this. The " two for two " by 11-16 makes a better defence, 
but it is doubtful if anything will draw at this stage.

a — Leads to quite an original development. The usual play is 
8-12, running the game into a variation of the " Bristol." 

b — 3-8 and 1-5 are both sound alternatives. 

C— 32-28 or 30-25 would evidently lose, if followed by 11-16. 
The " break " by 19-15 seems more favourable for White than the 
text, ^'.e.— 19-15, 10-19, 23-7, 3-10, 22-17, 14-23, 26-19, etc. Drawn. 

d— 27-23, then if 10-15, 22-17, etc., draws.

a — There is no doubt that the " Dyke " exchange by 18-14 
opens up a sound line of play here, and is strong for White. 

b — Stronger than 11-15, as played in the previous game. 

C — ^This seems to lead to a weak game ; 29-25, followed by 15-24, 
28-19, 8-11, 22-18, is a sounder development. 

d — 8-11 is stronger here, and I fail to find a satisfactory defence 
against it. ' For example :— 8-11, 17-13, 11-16, 32-28-e, 15-18, 28-24,

Janvier and other authorities give 24-19, which is stronger than the 
text, but runs into the '' Defiance " (colours reversed), as played 
in the next game. 24-20 is also sound, and leads to original lines.

C — 6-9 is the correct play here, and appears to force a win, as 
follows:— 6-9, 24-20, 9-13, 27-23, 22-25, 30-21, 13-22, 14-9, 5-14, 

18-9, 22-25, and White's game is hopeless. 

d — This " throw " alters " the move," and secures a drawn 
-position ; if Black plays 4-8 instead. White has " the move " and 
wins. 

e — By this move Black loses a well- fought ending ; 24-19, 
followed by 23-27, 19-15, 26-22, 15-10, etc., draws, as " the move " 
is in Black's favour.

a — It is seldom that anything but 9-13 is played at this point, as 
it at once places White on the defensive. 

b — Now identical with a well-analysed variation common to the 
" Bristol," " Dyke," and " Double Corner " openings. 

C — 2-6 is the usual play. See Game No. 15, English Tourney, 
1902.

This " stroke " is usually credited to Wyllie, but Dewar claims 
that he played the White side against Wyllie, and won by the 
" stroke." Instead of 12-16 forming the position, Robertson plays : 
5-9, 6-2, 9-14, 13-9, 14-17, 9-5, 17-21, 5-1, 22-25, 31-26, 25-29, 26-22.

a — This inaugurates a line of defence that has been played rather 
frequently of late, but I consider it inferior to the exchange by 11-15 
— Heffner's line, which gives Black a much stronger game. 

b — The best reply, striking at Black's weakened '' double corner." 
Robertson continues with 29-25, 11-15, 18-11, 8-15, 24-19, etc. 
Drawn. 

C— 11-15, 24-19, 15-24, 28-19, 8-11, 29-25, 11-16, 26-23, 1-6, 
leads to a more favourable development for Black. 

d — ^The usual play, but gives Black a weak ending, if correctly 
met. 1-6, followed by 26-23, 16-19, 24-15, 11-18, leads to a better 
game. 

e — This allows Black a clear course for a draw ; 28-24 is stronger

a — ^The exchange by 23-18, as played in the next game, is gener- 
ally preferred. The text-move permits the " break " which follows 
by 9-14, etc., and gives away the advantage which is supposed to 
be with White in this opening. 

b — Up to this point the game has been finely contested without 
advantage to either side. 2-6 would have forced an easy draw, 
White being compelled to reply 26-22 ; then follows : — 5-9, 14-5, 
6-10, 13-9, 19-24, etc. Drawn.

move allows Black an opportunity of which he takes immediate 
advantage. The game from this point to the finish offers a fine 
exercise in end play, which will be appreciated by the student. It 
was pointed out at the time that 27-23 was the correct play, and 
would have won. Black has nothing better than 22-26 in reply,

a — Varies from the usual stereotyped 24-20, and leads to quite 
an original game. 



ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 133 

b— 9-13 commends itself as the most natural reply, and Black 
comes out with the superior position after the " break," thus : — 9-13, 
23-16, 13-22, 25-9, 10-19, 24-15, 12-19, 29-25, 5-14, and Black has 
slightly the better game. If White takes the piece by 26-17 (instead 
of 25-9), then 12-19, 17-13, 14-18, and again Black has a good game. 

C — Black might safely play 19-23 at this point, if the reply is 
31-26 or 31-27, the resulting exchange leaves him with the better 
game ; while if White throws the piece by 15-11, 8-15, and plays 
20-16, then follows 15-18, and Black has a winning advantage.

a — A favourite line, though it is set down as weak in the " books." 
It was brought more into prominence by Jordan scoring a win with 
it off Barker in their match at Boston, 1900. In the International 
Match at Glasgow, 1899, Gardner was also successful with it against 
Buchanan. 

b — 17-14 is given by the older authorities ; the text-move was 
introduced a few years back by G. Jewitt. 

C — Barker played 3-7 against Jordan, and White won by 13-9, 
6-13, 15-10, 7-11, 10-7, etc.

a — It is usual to play 17-13 before taking this exchange. 

b — ^The " break " by 9-14 is sound, and simplifies matters by 
lessening the number of pieces in play. 

C — ^The exchange by 17-14, 9-18, 23-14, leads to original play, 
and is strong for White. 

d — ^This position is quite frequently brought up from the 23-18 
line of the opening, thus :— 10-15, 23-18, 12-16, 21-17, 16-20, 17-13, 
7-10, 26-23, 8-12, 24-19, 15-24, 28-19, 11-16, 25-21, 9-14. The 
text-move, is stronger than 4-8 (see Game No. 25). From this point 
to the end the game is a " repeat " of a Heffner- Freeman match-game. 

e — The student will find the ending very interesting and instruc- 
tive. 

f — Beware of playing 22-25, which loses by a neat stroke, thus : — 
23-18, 16-32, 18-14, 20-27, 11-16. 12-19, 15-29. W. wins.

And after 18-25, 17-14, the game was drawn. 

a — Introduced by Freeman against Heffner in their match 
for the American Championship, 1885. This move is not now con- 
sidered so good as the usual 8-11 or 16-20, though it was probably 
to avoid it that White *' cut " 24-19 in the preceding game. 

b— 28-24, 8-11, 24-19, 4-8, 27-24, 11-15, 19-10, 6-15, etc. Drawn. 
— Reay v. McKelvie. 

C — This varies from the Freeman-Heffner game, which was 
continued by 27-24, 10-19, 24-15, 6-9, 13-6, 1-19, etc. Drawn. 
Bryden, in his match with Ferrie, 1891, varied here with 25-22, and 
the game ran on :— 10-19, 27-24, 2-7, 24-15, 6-9, 13-6, 1-19, 32-27, 
8-11, 27-23, etc. Drawn. In the same match Ferrie also varied 
at this point with 13-9, for which move the annotator of the games 
claimed that " it impairs Black's game, and gives the second side 
a distinct advantage." The game was continued by 10-19, 27-24, 
6-13, 24-15, 1-6, 28-24, 13-17, 31-26, 17-21, 24-19, 2-7, 32-27, 7-11, 
etc. Drawn. The present game runs smoothly to a draw, without 
apparent advantage on either side, so that Black's game seems to 
be safe enough against any attack that White may adopt.

a — Leads to a weak ending, which Wyllie lost to Ferrie in their 
match for the World's Championship. It is full of pitfalls for Black, 
though perhaps not an absolute loss when correctly defended. 7-10 
is, however, greatly superior, and there is no need for Black to adopt 
this line except from choice. See English Tourney, 1902, Games 
Nos. 27 and 35. 

b — Varies from the Wyllie-Ferrie game, and is a powerful move. 
Ferrie played 29-25 and won, though both that and the text appear

drawn. This sacrifice, forcing the " two for one " afterwards, often 
occurs, and should be noted by the student. See also English 
Tourney, 1902, Game No. 32, Variation (1), and Note (f). 

d — ^The ending is now exceedingly critical for Black. 



138 



DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



e — Here, I think, Black might have drawn by either 19-23 or 
20-24. In the first instance :— 19-23, 14-18, 31-27 (threatening 
to exchange by 27-24), 18-15, 27-24, 32-28, 24-19, 15-24, 20-27, 
10-15, 23-26, 15-18, 26-30. Drawn. In the second place :— 20-24, 
32-28 (if 14-18 or 10-15, then 24-27 draws), 24-27, 14-18, 19-23, 10-15, 
27-32, 18-27, 32-23, 15-19, 23-18. Drawn. 

f — Black resigned after this move, as the piece on 6 is evidently 
lost. Attempts have been made to show a draw for Black at this 
stage by 32-28. The position is highly critical, but I think White 
can force a win against any defence Black can offer. I append a 
likely continuation : —

d — The situation here is an exceedingly interesting one, abounding 
in fine critical variations. It aroused quite a discussion among a 
number of players present at the Tourney, and was carefully exam- 
ined by a coterie of experts, the leading spirit of which was Mr. 
W. H. Waller. The outcome was that a very fine draw was demon- 
strated by that gentleman. The principal variations were published 
in the Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement, April 23rd, 1904, and are

a — This runs the game into the old orthodox " Bristol," as 
played by Anderson and Wyllie. 

b— A strong line for Black, which was first played in the Wyllie- 
Martins match, 1864. 

C— 27-24, 4-8, 32-27, 8-12, 17-13, 1-5, 27-23, 5-9, 13-6, 2-9, 23-16,

Drawn — J. Macfarlane. 

d — Apparently the losing move, but leads to a fine critical end 
game, well played on both sides. The play to draw runs thus : — 
26-23, 19-26, 30-23, 17-26, 31-22, 7-10, 23-18, 15-19, 24-15,

a — This has been a favourite line with me for many years to avoid 
familiar " book " play, but it is by no means strong for Black, 
though, I believe, perfectly sound. It is not given in any of the 
Guides, nor in Bowen's Cross. The latter includes play on four 
alternatives, viz. 7-11, 8-11, 9-14, and 15-19. 

b — ^The following variation was played in the Lancashire Tourney,. 
1902, and is, perhaps, a shade stronger for White than the text : —

familiar variation of the " Defiance," colours reversed. 

d — After this " break " there is nothing of any particular interest 
in the ending.

a — Sound, but not often played. This move and 24-20 are both 
treated upon by Drummond in the Scottish Draughts Player, 1851, 
but neither are much favoured by present-day experts, the standard 
play being 23-19. 

b — Varies from Drummond's play, where 7-14, 25-22, 11-15, 22-17, 
6-10, 17-13, 2-6, 29-25, leads to a sound draw. 

C — Here 7-10, 25-21, 3-7, develops a better game for Black than 
the text. 

d — -Black's game appears to be hopeless after this.

a — ^The " Dyke " exchange by 18-14 is favoured by many of our 
leading experts, and is, no doubt, as strong as anything White can 
play, and he has plenty of choice, i.e. 26-22, 28-24, and the text 
are all good. 

b — 22-17 is strong for White at this point. — See Jordan v. Freed- 
man. Games Nos. 1 and 2 ; also English Tourney, 1902, Game No. 9. 

C — ^The loser. Either 18-14 or 26-22 will draw. The latter gives 
Wliite quite a strong game, from which, by one of these coincidences 
now so familiar to close students of our game, the identical position 
may be evolved which Morrall won with White from Ward in the 
semi-final heat. The play runs as follows :— 26-22, 17-26, 31-22, 
7-10, 22-17, 11-16, 29-25-(l, 8-11, 25-21, 2-6, 17-14, 10-17, 21-14, 1-5, 
28-24, 3-7, now same as Game No. 79, which see. 

d— If 18-15, 2-7, or 1-6, will draw.

a — The " books " all give 22-17 at this point, which leaves Black 
only one safe reply, viz. 16-20. ^ 

b — ^\Veak. 16-20 is the correct reply, and is more in accord 
with the usual formations resulting from this opening. 

C — Black's game now looks very precarious, and if he has a sound 
draw it is only by the most exact play that that result can be reached. 

d — ^The ** two for two " by 18-15 is the most forcible attack, and 
the resulting fight for the draw very interesting, as follows : —

a — Unusual, but quite sound. 

b — If 17-13, 15-18, we have a variation of the 
Jordan v. Freedman, Games Nos. 11 and 12. 

C — Striking out a bold, original course, but its soundness is 
doubtful. 5-9, 17-13, 1-5, is a stronger formation. 

d — This is a likely looking move, but Black's reply (5-9) com- 
pletely neutralises it, and quite ** turns the tables " ; 28-24 is sounder 
play, against which Black does not appear to have a safe defence. 
I append a plausible continuation, as follows : —

g — Black now has the better game. 

h — A rather pretty variation presents itself here, by 14-18, which 
might possibly have won for Black. See diagram and accompanying play.

a — There is not much pubhshed play on this Hne. As remarked 
in a previous note, it is seldom opportunity is offered for this exchange, 
White generally plajdng 17-13 before taking the 24-19 *' cut,'' 
which gives him a much stronger attack. 

b — White appears to have a powerful game now, but it is more 
apparent than real, being counterbalanced by the weakness of his 
** double corner." 

C — A good move, taking full advantage of White's weak spot. 

d— If 26-23, 16-20, 23-19, 8-11, and Black has the better game ; 
and if 32-28, 24-27, 31-24, 16-20, 24-19, 20-24, and Black appears 
to have a winning advantage.

a — A favourite development of this opening, upon which there 
is a wealth of published play. It is familiarly known as the 
^'Bristol-Cross." 

b — Beware of playing 2-7, which loses by a pretty " stroke," as 
follows :— 19-16, 12-19, 27-24, 20-27, 32-16, 10-19, 17-10, 6-15, 22-17, 
etc. B. wins. — H. Shearer. 

C — This is a critical point for White. The text is weak, if not an 
absolute loss. The correct play to draw was, I believe, first published 
by F. Tescheleit, and runs as follows :— 27-23, 1-6, 21-17, 9-13, 
23-18, 15-19, 17-14, 19-23, 18-15, 11-18, 22-15, 13-17, 25-21, 17-22, 
21-17, 23-26, 17-13, 3-7, etc. Drawn. 

d — Now identical with a position by Tescheleit, published as a 
Black win. 

e — This varies from Tescheleit's play (where 23-18 is given), but 
I do not think it is an improvement. 

f — Here Black misses the point ; 8-11 will force Tescheleit's 
win, as follows : —

a — ^This is one of the finest of the " two-move " openings, 
productive of an infinite variety of critical combinations, and in 
popular opinion has the preference over all other replies to 11-16. 

b — I consider 7-10, threatening the exchange by 16-19, is Black's 
strongest play at this point. 

C — It will be observed that White has refrained from playing 
24-19, the usual mode of development in this opening ; but I fail 
to see that he has gained any advantage thereby. 

d — Up to this point Black's replies to the innovation have been 
well chosen, but I think the text is inferior to 10-15, which leads to 
some pretty play, with the probabilities rather in Black's favour. 
I append an example, as follows : — 

10-15 29 25 3-8 19 15 19-23 14 9 1-10 24 6 

18 14 13-17 23 19 16-19 26 19 22-29 19 16 18-22

e — Black should here have gone straight for the draw by 26-23, 
19-16, 20-24, 15-19, 23-18, 14-10, 5-9, 10-6, 9-14, 6-2, 24-27, etc.

Drawn. 

g— 14-17 (the last chance for a draw), 15-19, 17-22, 2-7, 22-25, 
7-11, 25-30, 11-16, 26-23, etc. Drawn.

j — He cannot move the piece from 26 without losing the 
man on 24. 

k — 18-23 also wins neatly in a few moves.

a — ^This variation seems to lead to a very level game. 

b— 27-24 forms the " WiU-o'-the-wisp," in which Black is 
supposed to have the stronger side of the game. 

C — Wyllie played 8-11 against Ferrie, and according to theory 
it is stronger than the text, as it gives White less choice in his reply. 
5-9 is also a strong move. But the text (6-9) is the most popular 
move at the present time

3. wins 



a — An old line of this opening, generally considered weak, but 
brought more recently into prominence by R. Jordan, who scored 
a win with it in his match with J. Ferrie. 

b— Beware of 11-16 ! which loses by 17-13, 16-23, 13-6, 2-9, 27-2. 
W. wins. This is noted as one of the " traps " in which the learner 
frequently gets caught. 

C — This varies from the Jordan-Ferrie game, where 25-22 was 
played, and Black won, as follows : —

is by 11-15, 22-17, 15-19, and in which Black is supposed to have 
the stronger side.

ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 155 

a — Considered to be a strong line for the White side. 

b — Leads to a " mixed " game, and probably on that account 
IS not much favoured by present-day experts, though it was played 
with success in the first International Match, 1884. 16-20 now has 
the preference. See Game No. 1, Jordan v. Freedman. 

C — Varies from Swan and Adamson's analysis, where 24-19 is 
played ; 24-20 was played in the International Match. Both are 
sound variations. 

d— 24-20, 11-15, 32-28, 6-10, 23-19, 15-24, 28-19, 10-17, 21-14, 
13-17, 26-22, etc. Drawn— J. Robertson. 

e — 11-15, 23-19, 6-10, 24-20, etc. Draws same as preceding note. 

f — This appears to be a losing move. The following variation 
draws : 

9-13 19 16 8-12 31 8 10-15 

14 9 12-19 26 23 7-10 3 8

12-19, 3-12, 18-11, 12-16, etc. W. wins. 

h — A remarkable oversight, by which White loses an otherwise 
well-contested game, just when victory was within his grasp.

a — -Not considered so strong as 8-12, and therefore is seldom 
played ; but it is a perfectly sound variation, and deserving of more 
attention than it has hitherto received. 

b — This is White's strongest attacking move ; 28-24 is also good, 
and 22-17, followed by 8-12, 23-19, 16-23, 27-11, runs into a familiar 
variation of the " Glasgow " opening. 

C — Black's game is now quite equal to his opponent's, and 
continues so to the end.

1*^1" As pointed out in the Introduction, "the move" is perhaps 
the chief factor in end-play, and a knowledge of this potential 
power is essential to the player's success. 

To have " the move " simply 
means, when carried to its logical 
sequence, to have the last move. 

For example, take King v. King. 
(Diagram 1.) It being White's turn 
to play. Black has " the move." Let 
the White King retreat in whatever 
direction he may, he is closely 
followed by the opposing Black King, 
and blocked in one of the side squares, 
in moving out from which he is 
finally captured, Black thus having 
the last move. This principle also 
applies when there are two or several 
pieces a-side on the board. (See 
Diagrams 2 and 3.)

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



In a game played to a " block," without any exchanges. White 
has " the move," as the following example shows : — 



10-15 

23 18 

7-10 

26 23 



3-7 
30 26

27 24 



But in the ordinary course of a 
game almost every exchange of pieces 
alters " the move," changing it from 
White to Black, and vice versa, and 
an easy rule to discover which side 
possesses it, at any stage of a game, 
has been formulated. For this pur- 
pose the board is divided, theoreti- 
cally, into two systems (Diagrams 
5 and 6), referred to as *' Black's " 
and " White's " systems.

Rule to find out who has "the Move.*' 

When it is your turn to play count all the pieces in your own 
system. If the sum is odd you have " the move," if even " the 
move " lies with your opponent. This rule applies only when there 
is an even number of pieces on the board. 



THE MOVE AND ITS CHANGES.

White to piay, and win White to play, and draw 

In both the examples given, it being White's turn to play. Black 
has '' the move." In No. 7 White exchanges by 23-19, gains " the 
move " (one of the capturing pieces being taken), and wins. 

In No. 8 White draws bj^/any likety move excepting 10-15. 
Should he make that move, then .Black wins b}^ playing 25-22, 
retaining '' the move " after the resulting exchange, as neither of 
the capturing pieces have been^taken. 

An exception to the rule arises when there is an odd number of 
pieces upon the board, as 3 ?;. 2 or 4 v. 3. In studying end-games 
of this description we invariably find that one player has " the move " 
in one system of squares, while his opponent has it in the other 
system.

DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



If the player of the weaker side can hold one of his opponent's 
pieces in a side square belonging to the system in which he has " the 
move," this is always a great aid to him in his defence, and in many 
instances will enable him to force a draw. (Diagrams 9 and 10.) 

In Diagram No. 9 White has ** the move " in his own system, 
which enables him to draw by holding the man on 13, and at the 
same time keeping a check on the two opposing Kings. Without 
" the move " in his favour he could not do this, and Black would win.

■23, 20-24, &c. Draw. 



The same principle applies to this as to the preceding example, 
but White has ** the move " in his opponent's system, which enables 
him to draw by holding the piece on 20, and keeping a check on the 
opposing Kings. Without " the move " in his favour he would lose. 

When the total number of pieces on the board is odd, it follows 
that there is an odd number in one system and an even number 
(or none at all) in the other system ; and the rule by which to find 
out in which system you have " the move " is based on this fact. 

Rule. — When it is your turn to play, count the pieces in your 
own system, and if the number is even, you have " the move " in 
that system ; if odd, you have " the move " in your opponent's 

system. 

The practical application of this rule is shown in the following 
examples (Diagrams 11 and 12) : —

Either to play ; White draws 

This example is a combination of Payne's and Roger's position^ 
in which White has the option of holding either the piece on 13 or 20. 
The rule shows that when he moves first he has '' the move " in his 
own system, and must hold the piece on 13 ; but if Black moves 
first, '' the move " is changed, and White draws by holding the piece 
on 20. 

When driving a King out of the " Double Corner," if there are 
other pieces on the board, it is sometimes necessary to know which 
square it will come out on. The only two squares by which it can 
leave are in different systems ; and discarding all but the three 
pieces concerned, there is always an odd number in one system or the 
other. 



238 



DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 



Rule. — When it is your turn to play, note which system contains 
the odd number : the King is forced out on to the square situated 
in that system. Examples (Diagrams 13 and 14) : —

In No. 13 the Black King has the option of retreating to either 
'' Double Corner " ; and the odd piece being in Black's system 
shows that he will be driven out on to Square 9 or 27 accordingly. 

In No. 14 the rule shows that if White proceeded to drive out the 
King with the two pieces on 1 and 18, it would come out on 27, and 
force a draw, by occupying 31 and releasing the pieces held on 13 and 
30. White must, therefore, alter " the move " by an exchange of 
pieces before attempting to combat Black's free King, as follows :■ — 

1 6 24-28 10 15 28-32 15 8 27-24 16 19 32-28 
27-24 6 10 24-28 a-3 8 32-27 11 16 28-32 23 27 
18 23 28-24 23 18 4-11 8 11 24 28 18 23 W. wins 

a — This exchange alters '' the move/' and enables White to win.
